KYMA-DT, virtual and VHF digital channel 11, is an NBC-affiliated television station located in Yuma, Arizona, United States, that also serves El Centro, California. Owned by Northwest Broadcasting and operated by News-Press & Gazette Company through a shared services agreement (SSA), the station is sister to Yuma-licensed CBS affiliate KSWT (channel 13), which is owned by Northwest and operated by News-Press & Gazette; El Centro-licensed Fox and ABC affiliate KECY-TV (channel 9); and Yuma-licensed low-power Telemundo affiliate KESE-LP (analog channel 35), the latter two of which are owned by News-Press & Gazette. KYMA maintains transmitter facilities located northwest of Yuma. All four stations share studios on South 4th Avenue in downtown Yuma.
The station began broadcasting in January 1988 as an ABC affiliate, replacing a translator of KGTV in San Diego. Later that year it became an NBC affiliate in a swap with then-KYEL, which would later become KSWT in 1991. KYMA was granted its initial license on April 29, 1988. It originally operated from studio facilities located on South Pacific Avenue in Yuma. Yuma Broadcasting sold the station to Sunbelt Communications Company in June 1989.
