KLEW-TV, channel 3, is the CBS television affiliate in Lewiston, Idaho. It serves north-central Idaho and southeastern Washington, including nearby Pullman. While it is located in the Spokane television market, it is a semi-satellite of KIMA-TV in Yakima. However, it identifies as a station in its own right, airing separate commercials and a separate newscast.

KLEW, which signed on the air December 7, 1955, is owned by Fisher Communications. Its transmitter is located near Clarkston, Washington. KLEW is also one of very few stations that currently signs off at night, doing so at 1am Sunday morning. Broadcasting resumes 5 hours later at 6am.
