KFKN

KFKN is a Fox-affiliated television station serving north central Kansas and south central Nebraska based in Cawker City. It is owned and operated by Cunningham Broadcasting and broadcasts on channel 38.
==History==
The station started airing from Cawker City on August 23, 1982 as the original KSNB, an affiliate of the NBC television network and a member of the Kansas State Network (KSN) group of stations. George Hatch - owner of the KSN group - owned the station until 1988 when it was sold to SJL Communications (now Lilly Broadcasting). KSNB is the only KSN station not affected by the 2000 sale to Emmis Communications as instead, it was sold to current owner Cunningham Broadcasting, effectively cutting ties with the rest of the Kansas State Network despite retaining the callsign. In 2005, KSNB became an independent station, catering the needs of a large area in north-central Kansas and a strip of southern Nebraska, until it became a Fox affiliate in 2017 under the new 'KFKN' call-letters. The KSNB callsign is now assigned to cross-town rival KBOK.
From January 2020 to 2021, KSNB and KFKN have signed on a news-sharing agreement, resulting in KFKN airing a nightly 10:00pm newscast produced by KSNB. From mid-2021, KFKN decided to terminate the agreement as they said that they were capable of producing their own 10:00pm newscasts. Instead, a new news-sharing agreement is signed with KCRS, the ABC affiliate in the area.
