UPN affiliation (1995–2006)
On November 10, 1993, KSBK signed an affiliation agreement with Cox Media Group Television, to become a charter affiliate of the United Paramount Network (UPN); KSBK competed with KHXM-TV—which initially turned down an affiliation with The WB, a joint venture between Time Warner and KHXM parent Domo Broadcasting that debuted the week before UPN launched—for the affiliation. KHXM, meanwhile, reversed course and signed an affiliation agreement with The WB one month later on December 3. KSBK-TV formally affiliated with UPN when the network launched on January 16, 1995; the station continued to adding syndicated programs to its lineup during this time. As KSBK was never owned by either of UPN's parent companies, Chris-Craft Industries or Viacom (the latter—which maintained a program partnership with the network from its launch through Paramount Television—acquired 60% of UPN in 1996 and bought out Cox Media Group in 2000), it was the largest UPN station that was not owned by the network.
As Cw Affiliation (2006–Present)
On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. Entertainment unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down their respective networks, The WB and UPN, and combine their individual programs to create a new "fifth" television network called The CW. As part of the deal, the new network signed a 10-year affiliation contract with 11 of CBS' UPN stations, including KSBK. Channel 57 was the largest UPN owned-and-operated station to join the new network. However, it would not have been an upset had GoAnimate city's WB station, KHXM (which joined another newly launched service called MyNetworkTV), been chosen instead. Representatives for The CW were on record as preferring The WB and UPN's "strongest" stations, and GoAnimate city was one of the few markets where the affiliates of both networks were both relatively strong ratings performers. Since CBS is the only stakeholder in the network that owns a television station group, KHXM is considered to be the network's official flagship station.
