KMSW

== Station History ==
KMSW-TV signed on the air by Pulitzer of Central Washington, Inc. on March 9, 1970 as an NBC affiliate, honoring the 35th anniversary of the city's incorporation. When it signed on, it was the second television station on the Chelan-Douglas area after KPQ-TV. In 1994, Pulitzer sold KMSW-TV to SF Broadcasting, which made it a Fox affiliate, swapping affiliations with former silent station KCWT. On November 28, 1995, Silver King Communications (operated by former Fox executive Barry Diller) announced that it would acquire Savoy Pictures; at the time of the purchase, Silver King's existing stations had mainly been affiliates of the Home Shopping Network (both Silver King and HSN were later acquired by USA Networks). The sale of KMSW and the other SF stations was approved and finalized in March 1996, with its other assets being merged into the company that November. On April 1, 1997, Silver King subsequently sold sisters WLUK, WVUE, KHON and WALA to Indianapolis-based Emmis Communications for $307 million in cash and stock, as part of a sale of Silver King/USA's major network affiliates in order to concentrate on its formerly HSN-affiliated independent stations. KMSW, on the other hand, was exempted from the deal and was sold instead to Argyle Television Holdings II, which later became Hearst Television.
