[edit] History

The station signed on October 31, 1954 (with help from Gonzaga University alumni Bing Crosby). It initially carried dual-affiliation with ABC and the Dumont Network. After Dumont dissolved, KREM continued as an ABC affiliate until August 8, 1976, when it swapped affiliations with cross-town competitor KXLY-TV (which was dropped by CBS for constantly pre-empting or delaying its network shows). KREM thus became a full member of the CBS network.

The logo used was a former logo of KCBS-TV (another CBS station; owned and operated) from 1994 to 1997.

[edit] Programming

KREM currently features CBS programming, as well as local news, public affairs and syndicated entertainment programming—including Friends, Scrubs, Dr. Phil and Oprah Winfrey.

KREM 2 News at Five is the most watched newscast in the Inland Northwest. As of the February 2007 rstings period, KREM 2 is also the #1 news at 6pm and 11pm. KREM 2 News is anchored by Nadine Woodward, Charles Rowe, Randy Shaw, Tom Sherry and Tom Hudson. The station is also the home of the region's only midday newscast.
