KKWW

KKWW, virtual and VHF digital channel 7, is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Flagstaff, Arizona. The station is owned by the E. W. Scripps Company. KKWW's studios are located at the ABC7 Reports newscenter on Cochise Drive in downtown Flagstaff, while their transmitters are located southeast of Flagstaff in rural Coconino County.

Flagstaff News Inc and Time-Life era
On November 5th, 1956, KKWW launched on channel 7 taking over the ABC affiliation from KOAI-TV, who previously aired select ABC programs at a secondary timeslot. It was originally owned by The Flagstaff News, a local newspaper in that area. During its launch up til 1963, it was the only station in Flagstaff to not have a sister radio station until The Flagstaff News acquired KFTD from KFTD Inc. and renamed it to KKWW-FM. In 1965, The Flagstaff News sold off KKWW and KKWW-FM to Time-Life for $55 million. KKWW was notable for launching the first live newscast in Arizona in 1968, making it one of the main factors of the usage of live reports in newscasts.

McGraw Hill era
In late October 1970, Time-Life would sell KKWW to McGraw Hill as part of deal in which McGraw Hill would acquire the television broadcasting assets of Time-Life. The deal was finalized in June 1972, resulting in McGraw Hill becoming the new owner of KKWW and KKWW-FM. However, McGraw Hill would later sell KKWW-FM in 1976, in order to concentrate only on TV broadcasting.

In October 1994, ABC signed a deal with McGraw Hill to affiliate their non-ABC affiliate stations, and also renew several of McGraw Hill's pre-existing ABC affiliates. This deal resulted in River City Broadcasting cancelling their plans to switch KPHF-TV to ABC.

E.W. Scripps era
On October 3, 2011, McGraw Hill would sell its broadcasting to the E. W. Scripps Company for $212 million. The sale received FCC approval on November 29, 2011, and was formally consummated on December 30. This deal made KKWW a sister station to fellow adjacent ABC affiliate KNXV-TV in Phoenix.
