KREX-TV is a television station on VHF Channel 5 based in Grand Junction, Colorado, USA and owned by Hoak Media Corporation. It is an affiliate of CBS.

KREX first went on the air on May 22, 1954. It was the only television station in western Colorado until KJCT signed on in 1980.

KREX also broadcasts digitally on channel 2; a digital subchannel carries My Network TV, which is also seen on KGJT-LP channel 27.

[edit] Satellite stations

KREX originally was also seen on KREZ ch.6 in Durango, Colorado, but became a satellite of Albuquerque's KRQE in the early-1990s.

[edit] Trivia

Its current logo is very similar to the then current logo for WEWS in Cleveland, Ohio,
