KARK-CD

**Not related to the real-life NBC affiliate, also in Little Rock, or the fictional KARK-TV in Arlen, Texas.
KARK-CD is a low-powered, Class A, The Chance Network-affiliated station licensed to serve the Little Rock and Pine Bluff areas in Arkansas. It is owned and operated by Confection Broadcasting.
== History ==
KARK-CD launched on September 1, 1998, airing color bars. It officially signed on three days later, as one of the first affiliates of The Chance Network. In addition to the syndicated talk shows, cartoons, and sitcoms on its schedule, it produced an in-house 9 p.m. newscast under the brand 40 News. 
In June 2003, following the demise of TCN Kids' Zone, a two-hour long 7 a.m. newscast premiered, as 40 News: Breakfast Time (it was later renamed in 2007 to Little Rock This Morning, to coordinate with the main network's new morning program). 
5 p.m. and weekend 9 p.m. newscasts joined the schedule in 2008. General station branding switched to TCN 40, from TV-40; however, newscasts did not change until 2010. 
Two hour-long 7 a.m. newscasts on Saturday and Sunday mornings debuted in 2015; when TCN News Saturday Morning debuted, the Saturday edition moved back an hour. However, the Sunday edition kept its timeslot.
Syndicated programming on KARK-CD includes Tamron Hall, Impractical Jokers, and SOS: How to Survive.
== Subchannels ==
The station had no subchannels until Laff launched in 2015. Fun Roads was added in 2020, and WeatherNation joined in 2021 (branded as The 24/7 Weather Authority).
