KHON-TV
On October 23, 2006, KHON-TV was announced as the Honolulu affiliate of The CW, carrying the network on its second digital subchannel. Beginning in March 2006 (two months after the network's launch was announced), The CW had struggled to find an affiliate in Honolulu after the market's then-WB affiliate KFVE, which was seen by many as the likeliest candidate to join The CW, signed with competing network MyNetworkTV, and former UPN affiliate KIKU (which aired the network's programming in the afternoons) declined to take the CW affiliation.
KRCW-TV
From 2003 to 2005, NBC affiliate KGW (channel 8) produced a nightly 10 p.m. newscast called "Northwest NewsChannel 8 at 10 on PAX" for the area's Pax TV owned-and-operated station KPXG-TV (which is now with Pax successor Ion Television). The program was moved over to KWBP on October 3, 2005 through a news share agreement that was struck between KGW and KWBP. Renamed as "Northwest NewsChannel 8 at 10 on Portland's WB", it was the first news program of any kind ever to be broadcast on this station. The program title was changed on September 18, 2006, when KRCW made the affiliation switch to The CW. On January 21, 2008, KGW became the first television station in the Portland market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition, the KRCW broadcast was included in the upgrade. On July 22, 2014, KRCW's newscast was retitled "KGW News at 10 on Portland's CW 32", in accordance with KGW's retiring of the "Northwest NewsChannel 8" brand after 20 years.
