KAPP (channel 35) in Yakima, Washington, and KVEW (channel 42) in Kennewick, Washington, are television stations affiliated with ABC and owned by Morgan Murphy Media. KAPP's studios are located in the Liberty Building on North 3rd Street in downtown Yakima, and its transmitter is atop Ahtanum Ridge; KVEW maintains its own studios on North Edison Street in Kennewick, with transmitter on Jump Off Joe Butte.

KVEW operates as a semi-satellite of KAPP, serving the Tri-Cities area. It simulcasts all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent, and the two stations share a website. However, KVEW airs separate commercial inserts and legal identifications. Local newscasts are simulcast on both stations. KAPP serves the western half of the Yakima–Tri-Cities market while KVEW serves the eastern portion. The two stations are counted as a single unit for ratings purposes. Master control and some internal operations are based at the studios of sister station and fellow ABC affiliate KXLY-TV on West Boone Avenue in Spokane.

On satellite, KAPP is only available on DirecTV, while Dish Network carries KVEW instead.
