History
KQCW began operations in 1999 as KWBT, serving as the Tulsa area's WB affiliate. KQCW is the sixth television station in Tulsa after KOKI and KTFO. Before KQCW launched, the WB affiliation was on KWHB 47.KQCW's programming schedule consists of morning children's programs, some first run syndicated shows including comedies in the early evening, off network sitcoms, drama shows, plus movies on weekends in addition to WB programming.
KQCW airs lottery drawings from the Oklahoma Lottery nightly at 9:10pm. KOKH 25 and KOCB 34 in Oklahoma City also air the drawings. Together, they are the official Oklahoma Lottery stations.
In 2006, CBS Corporation and Warner Bros. made the decision to merge the UPN and WB networks. The new network to be called The CW Television Network will feature the best programming from both the UPN and WB networks. The CW will air network programming six nights a week adopting The WB's Sunday-Friday schedule compared to UPN's five nights a week (Monday-Friday).
It was confirmed on April 10 that KQCW will become the new affiliate for the CW. On May 23, the station requested to the FCC to have its call letters changed from KWBT to KQCW. On June 30, the call letters officially changed to KQCW.
