KMLU went on air as KAQY on Dec 1, 1998; it was an ABC affiliate in the market and replaced KARD which joined Fox in April 1994. Monroe on June 23, 2008 requested Federal Communications Commission the permission to sale their asset to Parker Broadcasting. Also in the application was proposal for an LMA: local marketing agreement to allow Hoak Media to operate the television; the deal consummated on Oct 9, 2008.
