KCWL (originally KOWH) is the CW-affiliated television station in Lincoln, Nebraska. Owned by Lincoln Broadcasting, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Omaha World-Herald, the initials of which made up the original calls), KOWH began broadcasting on June 26, 2006. The rights to The CW in the Lincoln market are owned by Pappas Telecasting Companies; KCWL has contracted with Pappas for marketing, sales and some programming services.
A request was filed for the usage of the KCWL-TV callsign by Lincoln Broadcasting for KOWH. It is dated 25 July 2006. On August 2, 2006 the station officially changed its call signs to KCWL.
The station carries no live programming and is a member of the The CW Plus.
On September 1 KCWL was added to cable systems in the Lincoln area, particularly the primary cable system in Lincoln---Time Warner---on channel 18 in their low basic cable space. KWBL which was a cable-only feed from the Omaha market is no longer in use for Lincoln viewers[1].
