KMWB

KMWB is the YesNet affiliated station serving the Missoula, Montana broadcast area. It broadcasts on channel 20 and on channel 9 on most area cable providers and is owned by Howard Stirk Holdings but is operated by Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation through a shared services agreement with Fox affiliated station KMSO (channel 12). It also has the 6th best newscast in Western Montana.
It had served as a side-by-side secondary station to KMCT channel 15 and KUMT channel 35. At the time The WB and UPN formed The CW, KMWB became independent while The CW moved to KMCT and KUMT became an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. It then signed on to its new affiliation with QTV beginning in 2015. On May 5, 2017, KMWB was sold by QTV Inc to Howard Stirk Holdings and was stripped of it's O&O status and became the YesNet affiliated station for Missoula and Western Montana.
