KPQ-TV

KPQ-TV (channel 30) is a television station in East Wenatchee, Washington, affiliated with CBS. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group.
==History==
KPQ-TV signed on the air by Twin Counties Broadcasters, Inc. on January 7, 1963 as an NBC affiliate, honoring the 70th anniversary of the city's incorporation. When it signed on, it was the first television station on the Chelan-Douglas area. KPQ switch to CBS in 1968, but still retains NBC on a secondary basis until 1970, and has remained a CBS affiliate ever since despite ranking third in the ratings. In 1983, Kelly Broadcasting of Sacramento, California (owner of then-Independent, now Fox-affiliated station KCPQ in the neighboring Seattle-Tacoma DMA) bought KPQ-TV from Twin Counties. Cherry Creek Media (owner of the KPQ radio stations) acquired KPQ-TV in August 1998, as part of Kelly Broadcasting's exit from the television business. On September 7, 2016, the station was sold to Tribune Broadcasting.

:And that's good news
:We're getting together
