History
KLEW-TV signed on the air December 7, 1955, under the ownership of Cascade Broadcasting. It has always been a CBS affiliate; however, as a satellite of KIMA-TV, it also carried some programming from ABC and NBC in its early years.[2] The station's original studio facilities were located on Idaho Street in Lewiston.
Filmways agreed to purchase Cascade Broadcasting for $3 million in 1968;[3] the sale was approved the following year.[4] Filmways sold KLEW-TV, KIMA-TV, and KEPR-TV to NWG Broadcasting for $1 million in 1972.[5] In 1977, KLEW moved from its original studios on Idaho Street to its current location on 17th Street.
Retlaw Enterprises acquired the NWG stations, including KLEW-TV, for $17 million in 1986;[6] the stations were operated as part of the Retlaw Broadcasting division.[7] Fisher Companies (later known as Fisher Communications) agreed to purchase the Retlaw stations for $215 million on November 19, 1998,[8] a deal that was completed in July 1999.[9] On April 11, 2013, Fisher announced that it would sell its properties to the Sinclair Broadcast Group;[10] the deal was completed on August 8, 2013.[11]
Newscasts
This section needs to be updated. The reason given is: KLEW's newscasts are now produced out of KBOI in Boise.(June 2023) |
KLEW-TV airs local newscasts weeknights at 5, 6 and 11 p.m., local news cut-ins during the weekday edition of CBS Mornings from 7 to 9 a.m., that includes a short 5-minute interview segment called Northwest Morning, and simulcasts sister station KIMA-TV's 5 and 6:30 a.m. newscasts, as KLEW does not have morning, midday or weekend newscasts.
Notable former on-air staff
- Nadine Woodward – weeknight news anchor (1985–1987). Former mayor of Spokane, Washington.[12]
