KUCW, virtual channel 30 (UHF digital channel 48), is a CW-affiliated television station serving Salt Lake City, Utah, United States that is licensed to Ogden. The station is owned by the Nexstar Media Group, as part of a duopoly with Salt Lake City-licensed ABC affiliate KTVX (channel 4). The two stations share studio facilities located at West 1700 South in Salt Lake City (along I-215); KUCW's transmitter is located atop Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains, southwest of Salt Lake City.
The station has a large network of broadcast translators that extend its over-the-air coverage throughout Utah, as well as portions of Nevada and Wyoming.
There are two methods of accounting the station's history: by license and by "intellectual unit" which is the combination of a station's call letters, programming, network affiliation, and staff. As the result of local marketing agreements struck in 1998, which launched a process that culminated in a station swap in 1999, KUCW's license history differs from its intellectual unit history prior to April 21, 1998.
Some have linked the station's history back to the October 19, 1960 debut of educational television station KWCS, which was also licensed to Ogden and broadcast on UHF channel 18. This station shut down sometime in the 1970s. Although it has been assumed that KOOG-TV, which launched 25 years later, and the earlier station are indirectly related, the FCC does not as the original construction permit for KOOG in 1983 was issued separately.
