Okay, so you all are probably going to be like "What's the point of this thread?" (not being mean).

Now I do know that The Simpsons aired on KIMA since 1994.

Can anyone give me some examples? You can include live action comedies if you want.
 
Oh yeah, little reminder that 8 adult cartoons have aired on local stations as of now 3 of which are still airing to this day (The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers).
 
At one point, NBC affiliate WOWT-TV, Ch. 6 in Omaha, NE aired reruns of King of the Hill in the late night\early morning hours.

Also, NBC affiliate KOMU-TV, Ch. 8 in Columbia\Jefferson City, MO aired\still airs the Simpsons on Sunday nights at 11PM &, back in the 90's, they even aired it weekday afternoons at 5PM, before NBC Nightly News, in place of a newscast.
 
Before CW+ nabbed American Dad and Family Guy, CBS affiliate KVIQ in Eureka aired the shows from 6:30-8:00 PM, respectively. Although American Dad did air again at midnight on MyNetworkTV affiliate KEMY.

I wonder if there are any local stations left that still air King of the Hill?

What are the chances that one day, Disney might just plain get fed up with Fox for [REDACTED] reasons and take the Simpsons-Family Guy-Bob's Burgers line-up to ABC instead?

True but its more likely those shows are going to be on Hulu and Disney+.

'King of the Hill' reboot: Season 14 premiere date, cast, how to watch

"King of the Hill" returns after 15 years off the air with a modern reboot. Here's what to know.
www.usatoday.com

King of the Hill is back this time on Hulu and DIsney+.
 
The Simpsons aired on KDSM Fox 17 in reruns from 1994-2025. They also aired King of the Hill for several years. They also aired South Park for a couple years.

KCWI CW 23 has aired Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, The Cleavland Show and I think one more but can't remember.
