KHBS: Hernreich Broadcasting System ('H' can also mean "Hearst")
KHBS, virtual channel 40 (UHF digital channel 21), is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Fort Smith, Arkansas, United States. Owned by Hearst Television, the station maintains transmitter facilities located on the Cavanal Hill northwest of Poteau, Oklahoma. Its brand name 40/29 refers to KHBS and its Fayetteville-licensed satellite station KHOG-TV, virtual channel 29 (UHF digital channel 15), which covers other areas of Northwest Arkansas and far into southwestern Missouri that are not covered by the primary KHBS signal. KHOG maintains transmitter facilities located southeast of Fayetteville. The two stations share a studio on Ajax Avenue in Rogers and also operate a news bureau on North Albert Pike in Fort Smith.
Channel 40 began as KFPW-TV on July 28, 1971. It was owned by local businessman Bob Hernreich along with KFPW radio (1230 AM). The station was a primary CBS affiliate with a secondary ABC affiliation. Before channel 40's arrival, all three networks had been shoehorned on primary NBC affiliate KFSA-TV (channel 5, now CBS affiliate KFSM-TV).
