KJUD (Channel 8), Juneau, Alaska's first station, signed on the air on February 19, 1956 as KINY-TV, becoming KJUD in 1983. For many years, it was Juneau's only commercial station, and is still the only full-power commercial station in the area.

Currently affiliated with ABC, KJUD carried programming from all three networks for many years.

In 1995, the station became a part of the Alaska Superstation network, with KIMO and KATN.

In September 2006, KJUD began to show programming from The CW on its digital subchannel. The subchannel is known as Juneau CW.
