[edit] History

Previously, the station had the call letters KNBN-LP and it was the local NBC affiliate, while The WB was carried on a cable-only channel known by the fictitious call letters KDUB. In 2000, Rapid Broadcasting began broadcasting NBC programming on full-power KNBN channel 21. In 2003, channel 27 acquired The WB affiliation and became KWBH-LP, and carried programming from The CW Plus' predecessor, The WB 100+ Station Group. On September 2006, UPN and The WB merged to be The CW. KWBH joined the new network upon its launch.
