History
Before KAPP signed on, CBS affiliate KIMA-TV (channel 29) had carried ABC as a secondary affiliation until KNDO (channel 23) signed on in 1959. KNDO became the area's primary ABC affiliate until 1965, when it switched its primary affiliation to NBC. Both KNDO and KIMA-TV shared ABC's programming from that point until KAPP signed on the air on September 21, 1970, and all ABC programming moved to KAPP. The most notable ABC program shown on the station's first day was the first-ever Monday Night Football game between the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets.
KVEW began serving the Tri-Cities region in October 1970, a month after KAPP signed on. Before KVEW's existence,
KAPP and KVEW began airing Spokane's MeTV affiliate KXMN-LD on a digital subchannel in September 2006.[3] They were two of the remaining stations to sign-off every night, but that practice ended in 2012 when World News Now was added to the programming lineup.
On December 22, 2008, KAPP and KVEW discontinued their 6 p.m. and weekend newscasts. The 11 p.m. newscast was reduced to a five-minute broadcast before
While weather came from KXLY for several years, local weather reports have returned as of 2016, with meteorologist Jason Valentine at 5 and 6:30 p.m., and Kristen Walls during their Good Morning Northwest newscast.[6] With the cancellation of The Insider and Extra moving from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on September 11, 2017, KAPP/KVEW began airing local news at 6 p.m., for the first time in almost a decade.
