[edit] History
KSHV started as KWLB, an independent station, in May 1994. On August 28, 1995, KSHV became an affiliate of the United Paramount Network.
In 1997, KSHV became an affiliate of The WB Television Network. KSHV aired UPN as a primary affiliate from 7-9 pm local time, with WB shows airing from 9-11pm.
On January 15, 2001, KSHV became a primary WB station, switching the times at which WB and UPN shows aired. The station logo was also changed, with both the WB and UPN logos shown. Michigan J. Frog (the mascot for The WB) was added a year later. It was enventually dropped in 2005 when the network discontinued the frog.
In September 2003, UPN dropped KSHV in favor of KPXJ, which switched over from PAX TV (now i), and it became a WB station exclusively.
KSHV was one of several affiliates of Edward St. Pe's WeatherVision airing weather updates daily. KMSS and sister station KSHV have since dropped airing weather updates.
KSHV signed a deal to affiliate with My Network TV on March 15, 2006 [1].
