KRBW

KRBW is the Rainbow Dash Network station serving Wichita Falls, TX/Lawton, OK area. It broadcasts on channel 2 and is owned by Madison1996 and is a sister station to KFTX. Both stations maintain studios and offices at 2501 5th Street in Wichita Falls and transmitter site located in Grandfield, Oklahoma.
==History==
KRBW signed on the air on July 6, 1972 as KTMA, the independent station in Lawton and Wichita Falls. In 1995, KTMA became Texoma's WB affiliate and changed it's call letters to KWBT. KWBT was known on air as "WB2" and "Texoma's WB". In 2000, the station gained competition when then-Fox affiliate KFTX (now an NBC affiliate) launched their 9PM newscast titled Fox 21 News at Nine. In 2006, KWBT became the CW affiliate and changed it's call letters to KCWT. KCWT was known on air as "Texoma's CW". In 2011, KCWT disaffiliated with the CW and became the new home for the Rainbow Dash Network. Because of it, KCWT changed it's call letters to KRBW. In 2015, KRBW launched a 9PM Newscast called RDN 2 News. On March 16, 2016, Kruger Broadcasting traded KRBW and its satellites to BeloOne for WBSP-TV in Gainesville, FL. On July 20, 2016, BeloOne sold KRBW and its transmitters to Madison1996.
