List of The CW affiliates (by U.S. state)
The CW is an American television network, which launched on September 18, 2006 as a programming and management consolidation of its two predecessors The WB and UPN, both of which began broadcasting in January 1995.
The network currently has over-the-air coverage on eight owned-and-operated stations and 220 affiliates available on analog, low-power or digital broadcast signals ; and 17 additional local affiliates distributed exclusively through cable television providers. Counting only its broadcast affiliates, The CW covers 99.80% of all households in the United States with at least one television set.
The following article is a listing of CW-affiliated television stations, arranged alphabetically by state and territory, and based on the station's city of license and followed in parentheses by the Designated Market Area if differing from the city of license. There are links to and articles on most of the stations, describing their histories, local programming and technical information, such as broadcast frequencies.
For broadcast affiliates, the station's advertised channel number follows the call letters. In most cases, this is the station's virtual channel number.
Stations listed in boldface are owned and operated by CBS Television Stations, a corporate sister to The CW via network co-parent CBS Corporation. Stations listed with the superscript identification CW+ are broadcast or cable affiliates of The CW Plus, an alternate feed distributed mainly to areas ranked among the 110 smallest U.S. television markets, which alongside CW network programming, carries syndicated and brokered programs acquired and scheduled by the network.
