KMYA-DT (channel 49) is a television station licensed to Camden, Arkansas, United States, serving the Little Rock area as an affiliate of MeTV. Owned by LR Telecasting, LLC, the station maintains studios on Shackleford Drive (near Shackleford Road and Markham Street) in the Beverly Hills section of northwestern Little Rock, and its transmitter is located four miles (6.4 km) northwest of El Dorado, along Arkansas Highway 335.

KMYA-LD (channel 25) in Sheridan operates as a low-power translator of KMYA-DT for the immediate Little Rock metropolitan area; its transmitter is located at the Shinall Mountain antenna farm, near the city's Chenal Valley neighborhood.

Although KMYA brands itself as a Little Rock station and is officially assigned by Nielsen to the Little Rock–Pine Bluff market, the station's Union County–based transmitter is located in and serves most of the El Dorado–Monroe, Louisiana market—which receives MeTV locally via Columbia-licensed KMLU (channel 11)—and its signal contour does not reach Little Rock proper (extending only as close as southern Dallas, Cleveland and Clark counties). Therefore, KMYA relies on the Sheridan translator, and on cable and satellite distribution to cover the entire Little Rock market. KMYA is also relayed in the Fort Smith–Fayetteville market on digital subchannels of Univision affiliates KQRY-LD (channel 43) in Fort Smith and KWNL-CD (channel 31) in Winslow (both owned by Pinnacle Media, headed by Larry Morton, founder of former KMYA parent Equity Media Holdings).
