KSCW-DT

KWCH presently produces 20½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week for sister station KSCW (with 3½ hours on weekdays and 1½ hours each on Saturdays and Sundays); in addition, the station airs the agricultural news program AG AM in Kansas, which airs weekday mornings at 6:00 a.m.

In 2008, KWCH began producing a two-hour extension of its weekday morning newscast for KSCW, titled Eyewitness News This Morning on KSCW; the program competes against the national morning news programs seen on the "Big Three" networks. In October 2008, KWCH became the first television station in the Wichita market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition; the KSCW broadcast was included in the upgrade. Although not initially included in the change, KWCH upgraded its weather forecast segments to HD in March 2009. In 2010, that station added a half-hour Sunday evening newscast at 7:00 p.m. to KSCW, titled Eyewitness News Weekend.

On September 12, 2011, KWCH began producing half-hour newscasts at 4:00 p.m. weekdays and seven nights a week at 9:00 p.m. for KSCW; the latter production directly competed temporarily with another half-hour nightly newscast on Fox affiliate KSAS-TV that KWCH also produced since January 2004 through a separate news share agreement, which expired on December 31.[13] In theory, KWCH could have simultaneously broadcast two 9:00 p.m. newscasts until the expiration of the agreement, because KSAS' newscast originated from a secondary set (designed by FX Group) at KWCH's studio facility; however on October 5, 2011, KSAS filed a lawsuit against KWCH in Sedgwick County District Court claiming that in violation of the news share agreement, KWCH began taping the KSAS newscasts in advance, while KWCH produced its newscast for KSCW live; District Judge Jeff Goering signed an order requiring KWCH to restore the live newscast on KSAS while the suit was pending.[14]

After KWCH's agreement with KSAS ended, NBC affiliate KSNW took over the production of the KSAS newscasts (the station had previously produced a 9:00 p.m. newscast for KSAS from 1997 to 1999).[15] The addition of the 4:00 p.m. newscast made KSCW one of the few CW affiliates not owned by Tribune Broadcasting to carry a late afternoon newscast, and was the only newscast in that timeslot in the Wichita market from September 2011 to September 2013, after ABC affiliate KAKE discontinued its own 4:00 p.m. newscast that same month. In September 2013, KSCW began airing a two-hour Sunday morning newscast, which airs on the station in lieu of KWCH (which carries a Saturday morning newscast).

KSCW-TV provides four subchannels, which are carried in ATSC 1.0 format on the multiplexes of some of the other stations participating in the ATSC 3.0 arrangement.

On May 25, 2015, KSCW-DT began carrying the sitcom-oriented classic television network Decades (which became Catchy Comedy in 2023) on a newly-created second subchannel at official launch date.

On January 16, 2017, Tribune Media made an Agreement with Gray to Carry Antenna TV on a new third subchannel for KSCW. The subchannel launched on March 1 the same year.[17]

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the digital television allotment plan on April 21, 1997,[18] the station did not receive a companion channel for its digital signal. Instead, at the end of the digital conversion period for full-power television stations, KSCW was required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (an action called a "flash-cut").

The station shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 33, on February 17 of that year, the original target date on which full-power television stations in the United States were federally mandated to transition from analog to digital broadcasts (which was later pushed back to June 12).[19] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 33.
