KBSC

KBSC is an affiliate of the Prime Network located in Seattle, WA, and serves Seattle, Tacoma, Everett and Southern British Columbia in Canada. KBSC is owned by Kaiser Broadcasting. Started first as an independent, KBSC became an Prime affiliate in 2012. When KWIX changed affiliates from WIN to the CW, KBSC decided to air WIN on their subchannel 7.2. In addition to airing Prime's schedule, KBSC also aired syndicated programming, including The Wendy Williams Show, The Real, and Judge Mathis. KBSC is also the home of the Seattle Thunderbirds and Everett Silvertips (Of the Western Hockey League) and the Seattle Storm (of the WNBA).

History
KBSC launched on Aug. 1, 2000. The station operated on a half-day schedule, usually signing on in the early afternoon and leaving the air in the late evening. KBSC offered general entertainment featuring cartoons, short films, sitcoms and classic movies. Programming on weekday afternoons was aimed directly at children, with Japanese cartoons dubbed into English (including Speed Racer, Kimba the White Lion, Ultraman,Johnny Sokko and Gigantor) along with compilations of comedy short subjects by The Three Stooges and The Little Rascals. Needing to broad their audience, KBSC started broadcasting games for both the Thunderbirds and Silvertips for the WHL and the Seattle Storm for the WNBA. As ratings was starting to improve, KBSC decided to try and get affiliated with a network. In 2011, their wish came true as Prime Network was looking for some stations to launch their network in 2012. KBSC offered on the condition that they continue to air games for the Thunderbirds, Silvertips, and Storm. Prime Network said deal, and in 2012, KBSC became an affiliate of the Prime Network. In late 2014, it was announced that KWIX was switching affiliates with KEIO. KWIX was going to become a CW affiliate while KEIO was going to be an UBN at the beginning of the year. KBSC decided to launch a subchannel so that fans of WIN will not miss their favorites, so on January 1, 2015, KWIX became a CW affiliate, KEIO became an UBN affiliate, and channel 7.2 became a WIN affiliate.
