Nexstar Broadcasting Group announced plans Thursday (Jan. 15) for its newest acquisition in Little Rock, Ark. Soon after Nexstar closes on KWBF-TV, the MyNetworkTV affiliate in the market, Nexstar will relaunch the station on Feb. 1 with new call letters, KARZ-TV, new local programming from other Nexstar stations in the market and the state, and an upgraded signal.

In addition to airing MyNetworkTV programming, Z-42 will also air the First in Prime, a one-hour, prime-time local newscast produced by Z-42’s duopoly partner in the market, KARK-TV, Nexstar’s NBC affiliate.
