List of former CBS television affiliates

CBS (an initialism of its former name, the Columbia Broadcasting System) is an American broadcast television network that originated as a radio network in September 1927, and expanded into television in July 1941. Throughout its history, the network has had many owned-and-operated and affiliated stations.

This article is a table listing of former CBS owned-and-operated and affiliated stations, arranged alphabetically by state, and based on the station's city of license as well as its Designated Market Area; it is also accompanied by footnotes regarding the present network affiliation of the former CBS-affiliated station (if the station remains operational) and the current CBS affiliates in each of the listed markets, as well as any other notes including the reasons behind each station's disaffiliation from the network. There are links to and articles on each of the stations, describing their histories, local programming and technical information, such as broadcast frequencies.

The station's advertised channel number follows the call letters. In most cases, this is their virtual channel (PSIP) number, which may match the channel allocation that the station originally broadcast on during its prior affiliation with the network.

Former affiliate stations

Lost CBS affiliation upon the sign-on of KTAB-TV. KTXS-TV's secondary ABC affiliation (which it had been sharing with NBC affiliate KRBC-TV) then became its primary affiliation.
Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York Adams-Pittsfield, Massachusetts-Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York	WROW-TV/WCDA/WTEN 41/10 WMGT/WCDC 74/19	1953-1977 (WTEN) 1954-1977 (WCDC)	ABC	WRGB 6 (previously with CBS (secondary) from 1942-1953)	Swapped affiliations with ABC affiliate WAST as a result of an affiliation deal signed between ABC and WTEN/WCDC's incoming owners, Knight-Ridder.

Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York	WNYT 13	1977-1981	NBC		Swapped affiliations with NBC affiliate WRGB, who were searching for stronger programming (at the time, NBC was in last place among the three major networks). The deal reunited CBS with its original Albany affiliate, since WRGB aired CBS programming on a secondary basis from 1942 to WTEN's sign-on in 1953.
Alexandria, Louisiana	KALB-TV 5	1954-1957 (secondary)	NBC	KALB-DT2 5.2	Secondary affiliation, with NBC as its primary affiliation. Disaffiliated from CBS in 1957; after that, CBS programming was provided on cable from KLFY-TV in Lafayette, KNOE-TV in Monroe, or WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge.

KLYD changed its calls to KJTV in 1969, and five years later, the station swapped network affiliations with KBAK-TV, with KJTV taking CBS. Over the course of its history, KGET is one of a handful of television stations in the United States (including crosstown KERO-TV), at one point or another, to have primary affiliations with all of the traditional Big Three networks.
	KERO-TV 23	1984–1996	ABC		Swapped affiliations with ABC affiliate KBAK-TV in September 1996, as a result of an affiliation deal between ABC and KERO's then-owner McGraw-Hill.[2]
Baltimore, Maryland	WMAR-TV 2	1948–1981	ABC	WJZ-TV 13 (O&O)	Swapped affiliations with NBC affiliate WBAL-TV in 1981 over CBS' dissatisfaction with WMAR's frequent preemptions of network programs and the underperforming ratings of its newscasts.[3]
	WBAL-TV 11	1981–1995	NBC		Disaffiliated from CBS in 1995, and rejoined NBC (reuniting it with its original Baltimore affiliate) through a three-way network swap caused by E. W. Scripps Company's group affiliation agreement with ABC (which moved its affiliation from WJZ-TV to WMAR) and Group W's affiliation deal with CBS (which moved its affiliation from WBAL-TV to WJZ-TV).[4][5]
Birmingham, Alabama	WAPI 13 (now WVTM-TV)	1949–1954 (primary), 1961–1970 (joint)	NBC	WIAT 42	WAPI was a primary affiliate during first tenure with CBS (WAPI held a secondary affiliation with ABC); was jointly affiliated with NBC and CBS during second tenure. When WBMG signed-on in 1965 and took the CBS affiliation, CBS continued to allow WAPI to "cherry-pick" its strongest programming until 1970 due to its poor signal and because, at the time of WBMG's sign-on, UHF converters were still required to receive UHF television signals.

It rejoined the network in 1972 over CBS' complaints that WHDH's successors, WCVB-TV (which would eventually become an ABC affiliate), planned to heavily preempt CBS programming for local programming. Disaffiliated from CBS for good in January 1995, and swapped affiliations with NBC affiliate WBZ-TV through an affiliation deal between WBZ-TV's owners, Westinghouse Broadcasting, and CBS.[6]
	WHDH-TV 5	1961–1972	Defunct		Ceased operations in 1972 as the result of a court order granting to Boston Broadcasters Incorporated a license to broadcast on channel 5, and underlying allegations of impropriety in the granting of the television license by the FCC. CBS refused to grant WCVB-TV an affiliation since it planned to heavily preempt CBS programming for local programming, and rejoined WNAC-TV. WCVB-TV subsequently joined ABC.
	WIHS-TV/WSBK-TV 38	1966-1981 (secondary)	MyNetworkTV		Secondary affiliation (WSBK-TV was an independent station); cleared CBS programming not cleared by CBS's then-affiliate WHDH-TV, and then by WNAC-TV. Disaffiliated from CBS in 1981.

As WQTV, disaffiliated from CBS in 1985, and as WABU in 1995 as the result of an affiliation agreement between CBS and WBZ-TV owners Westinghouse Broadcasting, under which WBZ-TV would clear all CBS programming except in cases of breaking news.
Concord, New Hampshire-Boston, Massachusetts	WNHT 21	1988-1989	Defunct		Ceased operations March 31, 1989 due to low viewership and financial problems. Channel 21 allocation is now occupied by WPXG, a satellite of Ion Television O&O WBPX-TV.
Worcester-Boston, Massachusetts	WHLL/WUNI 27	1988-1995 (secondary)	Univision (O&O)		Secondary affiliation; in later years Telemundo, and later Univision, was its primary affiliation. Cleared CBS programming not cleared by CBS's then-affiliate WNEV-TV/WHDH. Disaffiliated from CBS in 1995 when WUNI became a full-time Univision affiliate.

New Bedford, Massachusetts-Providence, Rhode Island	WTEV/WLNE-TV 6	1977–1995	ABC		Swapped affiliations with ABC affiliate WPRI-TV in 1995 as a result of the network's purchase of WPRI-TV,[14] which it sold to Clear Channel Communications the following year due to its purchase of Boston affiliate WBZ-TV through its affiliation agreement with that station's then-owner Westinghouse (as FCC rules at the time prohibited common ownership of stations in adjacent markets with overlapping signals, with no consideration for a waiver for stations with large overlapping coverage areas).
Raleigh-Durham-Fayetteville, North Carolina	WTVD 11	1958–1985	ABC (O&O)	WNCN 17	Swapped affiliations with ABC affiliate WRAL-TV and became an ABC owned-and-operated-station as a result of the purchase of ABC by WTVD's then-owner Capital Cities Communications.

(KOTA-TV thus became a joint primary of NBC and its existing ABC affiliation.) KOTA-TV rejoined CBS on a secondary basis (and left ABC in the process) in 1976 when the FCC stripped KRSD-TV's license for the same reason. Disaffiliated from CBS in 1981 when the FCC approved a translator station for KPLO-TV in Reliance, a satellite of CBS' Sioux Falls affiliate KELO-TV.
	KRSD-TV 7 (now KOTA-TV 3)	1970–1976	ABC		Disaffiliated from CBS when the FCC stripped the licenses of KRSD-TV and its satellite in Lead, KDSJ-TV, due to unacceptable technical issues.

Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands	WBNB-TV 10	1961-1989	Defunct	WMNS-LP 22/TV2	WBNB-TV was taken off the air in September 1989 when Hurricane Hugo destroyed the station's transmitter. For financial reasons, the station's owners, Benedek Broadcasting did not rebuild the facilities immediately.

As KTNT-TV, it lost the CBS affiliation and became an independent station in 1958 when KIRO-TV signed-on, but regained it two years later (shared with KIRO-TV) to settle an antitrust lawsuit filed by the station against CBS. The agreement ended in 1962, when it again became an independent station. KSTW rejoined CBS again in March 1995 through an affiliation deal tied to sister station KTVT's contract with the network, while KIRO became a charter affiliate of UPN;[17] KIRO rejoined CBS in June 1997, while KSTW assumed the UPN affiliation.[18]

Spokane, Washington	KXLY-TV 4	1953–1976	ABC	KREM 2	Swapped affiliations with ABC affiliate KREM on August 8, 1976, as a result of an affiliation termination notice given by CBS to KXLY in February 1976 due to the station's constant pre-emption and time-shifting of network programming, and a related affiliation agreement signed with KREM that summer. The affiliation swap was timed so that KREM could air ABC Sports' entire coverage of the 1976 Summer Olympic Games before switching.
Springfield-Decatur-Champaign-Urbana, Illinois	WICS 20	1953-1958 (secondary)	ABC	WCIA 3	Carried a secondary affiliation, with NBC as its primary affiliation, since WCIA's signal to Springfield (its city of license) was marginal at best. Disaffiliated from CBS in 1958.

Texarkana, Texas-Shreveport, Louisiana	KCMC-TV 6 (now KTAL-TV)	1953–1960	NBC	KSLA 12	CBS disaffiliated from KCMC-TV citing that the signal of its Shreveport affiliate KSLA decently covered Texarkana. Fearing that it would have to make its secondary ABC affiliation its primary (since ABC was in last place among the three major networks at the time), KCMC-TV's owners successfully persuaded the FCC to collapse the Texarkana television market into the Shreveport market. KCMC-TV subsequently became a full-time NBC affiliate, while NBC's affiliate in Shreveport, KTBS-TV, became a full-time ABC affiliate.

Grand Forks-Fargo, North Dakota-Moorhead, Minnesota	KXJC-LP 35	2000-2003	Defunct		Semi-satellite of KXJB-TV; served the Grand Forks area (Grand Forks is part of the Fargo market). Ceased operations April 2003.
