KUCW

KUCW, virtual channel 30 (UHF digital channel 48), is a CW-affiliated television station serving Salt Lake City, Utah, United States that is licensed to Ogden. The station is owned by the Nexstar Broadcasting Group, as part of a duopoly with ABC affiliate KTVX (channel 4). The two stations share studio facilities located at West 1700 South in Salt Lake City (along I-215), and its transmitter is located atop Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains, southwest of Salt Lake City.

The station has a large network of broadcast translators that extend its over-the-air coverage throughout Utah, as well as portions of Nevada and Wyoming. Syndicated programming on KUCW includes The King of Queens, The Big Bang Theory, Everybody Loves Raymond, That '70s Show and Maury.

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 local marketing agreements struck in 1998, 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.
