On February 2, 2013, the operations of KLRT and KASN were consolidated with KARK and KARZ at KARK's downtown Little Rock studios, making it the first instance in which four full-power television stations in one market, carrying affiliations with four of the six major English-language networks (NBC, Fox, The CW and MyNetworkTV) were controlled by one company; and all four having been housed out of one facility. Around 30 positions between the KARK/KARZ and KLRT/KASN duopolies (mainly among management – including KLRT/KASN general manager Chuck Spohn – and news department staff) were eliminated in the consolidation. KLRT's former news set would be repurposed by Memphis sister station WATN-TV at its new studio facilities, which officially began operations on June 1, 2013.
