History
The station went on air for the first time on March 23, 2001, as KBKI. In 2003, it changed its call sign to KAZW-TV and became affiliated with the Spanish-language Azteca América network. It was mainly targeted at the Hispanic community in Central Washington.

On April 24, 2006, it was announced that KAZW would launch a CW affiliate on digital subchannel 9.2, with programming being provided by The CW Plus. However, the station, which did not have a digital signal, subsequently changed its plans and chose to completely replace Azteca América with The CW, citing better marketing potential. Mike Angelos, Vice President of Corporate Communications for Pappas Telecasting, stated that while the Yakima Valley has a 40 percent Hispanic population, the numbers weren't high enough to reach the level needed for Azteca América. The call letters were changed to KCWK in August 2006 to reflect the new affiliation.

On May 10, 2008, KCWK, along with several other Pappas stations, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As a result of the bankruptcy, Pappas Telecasting Companies was given until February 15, 2009 to sell these stations to other owners. On January 16, 2009, Pappas announced that most of the stations, including KCWK, would be purchased by New World TV Group, after the sale received United States bankruptcy court approval. New World TV Group formed a new holding company known as the Titan TV Broadcast Group (unrelated to the similarly named smaller-market radio station owner Titan Broadcasting), which completed its purchase of most of the Pappas stations involved in the bankruptcy on October 15, 2009. Upon purchasing KCWK, Titan invested in developing a news department for the station, and leased a former medical office building in Yakima to serve as the station's new studios. The station relocated its transmitter facilities to a new tower located near on January 5, 2010. The new transmitter facilities provided an upgraded signal that allowed KCWK to cover both the Yakima and Tri-Cities areas. The city of license has remained Walla Walla.

Titan announced the sale of KCWK and most of the company's other stations to the Sinclair Broadcast Group on June 3, 2013. The FCC approved the sale on September 19, and the sale was officially finalized on October 3, 2013. Because Sinclair already owned (channel 29) and semi-satellites  and, Sinclair resold KCWK to the , with the sale completed on October 20, 2013. The affiliation with The CW was not included in the sale to Gannett, and as a result KCWK switched affiliations to MyNetworkTV, re-branding as "My9".

On June 29, 2015, the Gannett Company split in two, with one side specializing in print media and the other side specializing in broadcast and digital media. KCWK was retained by the latter company, named.
