KMVD

KMVD is an affiliate of The WB serving Paradise, Nevada, and the Paradise area. Broadcasting on channel 52, KMVD is owned and operated by Capital Cities Communications. KMVD was launched in 2000 by Tarkanian Broadcasting as an independent. Struggling as an independent, KMVD was losing money from the start due to low ratings and bad management. By 2005, Tarkanian Broadcasting filed for bankruptcy, and the station went dark. Later on in the year, it was announced that Capital Cities purchased the station. A year later, KIWT (channel 7) left The WB to become an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. And KMVD became an affiliate of The WB. When Capital Cities purchased a share of The WB in 2015, KMVD became an O&O (Owned and Operated) affiliate of The WB.
