KREM-TV
Encyclopedia
KREM is the CBS
television station affiliate serving the Spokane, Washington
–Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
market. Its digital signal is seen on UHF
channel 20. The station is owned and operated by the Belo
Corporation, and is sister station with KSKN-TV
, The CW affiliate in the market. The two stations share all back-office functions, and KREM produces a 10pm newscast for air on KSKN. The chief newscaster for KREM 2/KSKN 22 is Randy Shaw.
KREM and KSKN are a part of the Belo Northwest cluster, which includes KING
and its sister station KONG, Seattle; KGW
, Portland, Oregon
; and KTVB
in Boise
. All four stations provide material to co-owned Northwest Cable News, a regional 24-hour
cable news
service based in Seattle serving much of the region. KREM is the only non NBC
affiliate to be a primary contributor to NWCN
, with the exceptation of KONG 6 and KSKN 22
.
It is one of five local Spokane TV stations seen in Canada
on the Shaw Direct satellite provider.
. It initially carried dual-affiliation with ABC
and the DuMont
Network, the latter shared with cross-town competitor KXLY-TV
because of its then-CBS
affiliation at the time. After DuMont dissolved, KREM continued as an ABC affiliate. In the late 1950s, the station was briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network
.
KREM-TV was affiliated with ABC until August 8, 1976, when it swapped affiliations with KXLY-TV, whom CBS immediately dropped for constantly pre-empting or delaying its network shows. KREM thus became a full member of the CBS network.
KREM-TV was originally owned by the owner of KREM radio (AM 970, now KTRW
at AM 960; and FM 92.9, now KZZU). The King Broadcasting Company
, run by Seattle businesswoman Dorothy Bullitt
, bought the KREM stations in 1957; the radio stations were sold off in 1984. (Coincidentally, the former KREM-FM is now a sister station to KXLY-TV.) King Broadcasting was sold in 1992 to the Providence Journal Company, which merged with current owner Belo Corporation
five years later.
