On February 17, 2009, KSHV-TV permanently ceased analog broadcasting on UHF channel 45; its digital signal remained on UHF channel 44, remapped to its former analog UHF channel 45 via PSIP.
KSHV started as KWLB, an independent station, in May 1994. It aired mostly religious, family-oriented shows, and cartoons. On August 28, 1995, KWLB changed it call letters to KSHV and became an affiliate of the United Paramount Network. In addition, they added more secular shows and the shows that were on the station quickly phased out.
In July 1997, KSHV picked up The WB Television Network on a secondary basis. KSHV aired UPN as a primary affiliate from 7 to 9 p.m. local time, with WB network programming airing from 9 to 11 p.m. On January 15, 2001, KSHV became a primary WB station, switching the times at which WB and UPN programs aired. The station logo was also changed, with both the WB and UPN logos included; Michigan J. Frog (the mascot for The WB) was added a year later, it was eventually dropped in 2005 when the network discontinued the frog.
In September 2003, UPN dropped KSHV in favor of KPXJ, which was brought that summer by KTBS and switched over from PAX TV (now ION Television), and it became a WB station exclusively.
KSHV signed an affiliation agreement to become a charter affiliate of Fox Entertainment Group's MyNetworkTV service on March 15, 2006.[1] When MyNetworkTV began on September 4, 2006, KSHV dropped the final two weeks of The WB programming (KPXJ broadcasted the final two weeks of WB programming late at night).
It was also affiliated with the Retro Television Network from September 2008 until January 2009. However, it still does air several select shows from that network, along with other off-network shows such as Family Feud, Half & Half, The Cosby Show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Fraiser, Law & Order: SVU, In The Heat Of the Night, Stag: A Test of Love, Cheaters, Legend of the Seeker, CSI: Miami, Chapelle's Show, and Cops.
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 is the only station in the market without a local newscast.
