Newscasts are typically branded as KNOE 8 News and have been since 2008. On November 1, 2010, KNOE-TV debuted a new news set, fit for high definition broadcast. On January 17, 2011, KNOE-TV began broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition, becoming the first station in the Ark-La-Miss region to do so; in-studio as well as in the field. Beginning in September 2016, the station began broadcasting two unique newscasts using staff from KNOE-TV. Airing weeknights at 5:30 and 10 p.m. (the latter against KNOE-TV), KAQY News Now features short segments/news capsules in a rapid fire progression. National prominence "Good Night and Good Duck", the second episode of Season 7 of the A&E series Duck Dynasty, was shot mostly at the KNOE-TV studios, and aired nationally November 26, 2014. The episode had all mention of KNOE-TV's CBS and ABC affiliations obscured on-set for copyright reasons, through virtual or physical means. Technical information KNOE-TV subchannels KNOE-TV's digital signal is multiplexed: KCWL-LD subchannel Analog-to-digital conversion KNOE-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 8, on February 17, 2009, the original target date in which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition VHF channel 7 to channel 8. Translators In addition to the main signal, KNOE-TV operates two translators. A simulcast of their main signal exists over K20OC-D (channel 20), formerly K18AB-D (channel 18) in El Dorado. Another translator, KCWL-LD (channel 40, formerly K40MB-D) in Monroe, is used to simulcast KNOE-DT3 into 720p high definition.
