KHQ-TV, virtual channel 6, is the NBC affiliate for Spokane, Washington. It broadcasts its digital signal on UHF channel 15. The station is the flagship and namesake of The KHQ Television Group, a subsidiary of Cowles Company, which owns The Spokesman-Review newspaper. KHQ's studios are located on West Sprague Avenue in Downtown Spokane, and its transmitter is on Browne's Mountain Southeast of Spokane.

The station also operates a 24-hour sports and weather channel called SWX Right Now on digital subchannel 6.2. On cable, the station is available in standard definition on channel 6 on Comcast in the Spokane area and on Time Warner Cable in the Coeur d'Alene area; it is also available in high definition on Comcast digital channel 106 in Spokane and Time Warner Cable digital channel 1203 in Coeur d'Alene and the Palouse. On satellite, it is available on channel 6 in both standard definition and high-definition on Dish Network and DirecTV. KHQ is one of five local Spokane television stations available in Canada on Shaw Cable in most of Alberta, including Calgary and Edmonton—both of which have more than double the population of KHQ's American service area. It is also available on satellite provider Shaw Direct for most customers in Alberta and Southeastern British Columbia.
