History
KSBW began broadcasting on September 11, 1953. Originally, it was affiliated with all three major networks — NBC, ABC and CBS. It lost ABC to then-independent KNTV in 1960, and CBS when KMST-TV (now KION-TV) signed on in 1969.During the early 1980s, KSBW was owned by Blair Broadcasting. It was then sold to Gillett Broadcasting (which would later acquire most of Storer Broadcasting's stations) in 1986. When Gillett restructured into SCI TV in the early 1990s, it sold KSBW to EP Communications in 1994 when it sold most of its other stations to New World Communications. EP, in turn, sold the station to Smith Broadcasting in 1995. Hearst-Argyle bought the station, along with WPTZ in Plattsburgh, New York and its semi-satellite WNNE in White River Junction, Vermont, from Sunrise Television (at that time a subsidiary of Smith Broadcasting; now part of LIN TV) in 1998, swapping WDTN in Dayton, Ohio and the license for WNAC-TV in Providence, Rhode Island to Sunrise in the process.
