History

There are two methods of accounting the station's history: by license and by "intellectual unit", which is the combination of a station's call letters, programming, network affiliation and staff. As the result of 1998 Local Marketing Agreements (LMAs), which launched a process that culminated in a station swap in 1999, KUCW's license history differs from its intellectual unit history prior to April 21, 1998. Events 753 BC - Romulus and Remus found Rome ( traditional date) Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar)

License history

On May 24, 1983, the FCC granted an original construction permit to build a full-power television station on UHF channel 30 to serve the city of Ogden, Utah, and the Salt Lake City television market. Events 1218 - The Fifth Crusade leaves Acre for Egypt. 1276 - Magnus Ladulås is crowned Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar) The new station, owned by Ogden Television, Inc. , originally identified under its application number, 830121KH, but took the call letters KOOG-TV in September. It began operations in October 1985, and was licensed on January 16, 1986. Events 27 BC - The title Augustus is bestowed upon Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian by the Roman Senate. Year 1986 ( MCMLXXXVI) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link displays 1986 Gregorian calendar) Originally, the station’s format was general entertainment, airing cartoons, old movies, drama shows and classic sitcoms. In early 1986 the station began airing Home Shopping Network (HSN) programming overnights and added Home Shopping during midday hours in mid-1987. The old Home Shopping Network (HSN was mostly a 24-hour basic cable shopping network that could be seen seen on cable, satellite, and some terrestrial By 1988, the station was programming HSN 18 hours a day and general entertainment six hours a day.

Ogden Television, Inc. went into receivership in 1993, and the station was sold to Miracle Rock Church in a deal finalized in March 1994. Ogden Television was programming approximately eight hours of general entertainment per day; Miracle Rock Church added about an hour per day of religious programming to the schedule, and continued to air HSN approximately 15 hours a day. In January 1995, KOOG-TV became a WB Television Network affiliate and added prime time programming from The WB. The following September, they also added cartoons from Kids' WB. Kids' WB is an online network that was launched on April 28, 2008. Paxson Communications, having recently failed to complete an agreement to acquire 50% of Provo station KZAR-TV (later KUWB, now KUPX), agreed to acquire KOOG-TV in 1996, and the station dropped HSN in favor of Paxson's inTV infomercial network. ION Media Networks (formerly known as Paxson Communications) is an American Television Broadcasting company that owns and operates over 60 television Provo is a city in and the County seat KUPX is a full-service Television station licensed to Provo Utah and serving the Salt Lake City market The sale was finalized in June 1997, and the station continued to air programming from The WB. Almost immediately, Paxson began pursuing a television station swap with KZAR-TV, at the time wholly owned by Roberts Broadcasting. The swap proposal was documented in an August 1997 transfer of control agreement between Roberts Broadcasting and ACME Communications. ACME Communications ( is a Television Broadcasting company that owns seven television stations ^[1] At the same time, Paxson was involved in a dispute with Sonic Cable Television of Utah, trying to secure must-carry coverage on Sonic's cable system in Logan, Utah. In Cable television, governments apply a must-carry regulation stating that locally-licensed television stations must be carried on a cable provider's system Logan is a city in Cache County, Utah, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 42670 a substantial increase Paxson filed a complaint with the FCC at the end of December, but their petition was unsuccessful. ^[2]

In February 1998, KOOG-TV became KUPX, airing inTV during the daytime, WB programming during prime time, and The Worship Network overnight. The Worship Network, or Worship, is a broadcast television service that provides alternative Christian worship-themed programming 24 hours a day seven days On April 20, 1998, Paxson entered into an agreement with Roberts Broadcasting and ACME Communications in which each station would acquire the other's assets, but WB programming would remain on channel 30. Events 1303 - The University of Rome La Sapienza is instituted by Pope Boniface VIII. Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) ^[3] To expedite the process, the parties immediately entered into LMAs, whereby the stations would swap call signs and would begin to operate each other's stations until the FCC could approve the assignments of license. The following day, the stations executed the LMAs. KUPX channel 30 of Ogden became KUWB 30 and KUWB channel 16 of Provo became KUPX 16. Paxson continued to own the Ogden station, now KUWB, but operated the new Provo station, KUPX. Meanwhile, Roberts and ACME continued to own KUPX, but operated KUWB. Upon assuming operations at KUWB, ACME dropped the infomercial and religious programming and replaced it with classic television series and shows.

Paxson Communications, Roberts Broadcasting and ACME Communications filed formal assignment of license applications in May 1998 and the FCC approved the swap in March 1999. In September 1999, ACME Communications, having bought out Roberts Broadcasting's interests, and Paxson Communications consummated the agreement and took full ownership their respective stations.

In time, KUWB began to cut back on cartoons and classic sitcoms and eventually eliminated them altogether in favor of court shows, and talk and reality shows. Afternoon cartoons disappeared in January 2006, when The WB ended the weekday afternoon Kids’ WB block.

In August 2005, Clear Channel Communications, owner of KTVX channel 4, the ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City, reached an agreement to buy KUWB from ACME Communications. Clear Channel Communications is a media conglomerate company based in the United States. KTVX ( "ABC4") is the ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City Utah.

The CW Television Network ( The CW) is a Television network in the United States launched at the beginning of the 2006-2007 television season. The sale of KUWB from ACME Communications to Clear Channel became contingent on the ability of KUWB to secure the CW Network affiliation. ^[4] KUWB was able to get the CW affiliation and the sale of the station was completed. In April, Clear Channel announced plans to affiliate KUWB with The CW,^[5], and nearly two weeks later, CW and KUWB announced the official affiliation agreement. ^[6] In February 2006, Clear Channel had obtained call letters KUCW and placed them on a Coos Bay, Oregon satellite of Clear Channel station KMTR in Eugene, Oregon in anticipation of the acquisition of KUWB. Coos Bay is a city located in Coos County Oregon, United States. KMTR is the NBC and The CW affiliate Television station serving the Eugene / Springfield Oregon Designated market area.

Year 1997 ( MCMXCVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar ^[10][11] In the initial allotment, the FCC assigned UHF channel 17 for KZAR-DT, the companion channel to UHF channel 16 in Provo, later to become KUWB-DT. In the station swap, which was initiated in April 1998, the allocation for KUWB-DT was treated as part of the KUWB intellectual unit, and became the companion channel for Ogden UHF channel 30, although channel 17 was still officially assigned to Provo in the Digital Table of Allotments. ACME Communications filed an application for KUWB-DT in November 1998. In July 1999, KUWB and seven other area channels, collectively known as DTV Utah, proposed significant changes to the Salt Lake City market DTV allocations, which were approved by the FCC in May 2000. ^[12] As a result of the FCC ruling, KUWB-DT was reallocated from UHF channel 17 to UHF channel 48 and its city of license officially moved from Provo to Ogden in the DTV Table of Allotments.
