KWGN-TV is a television station on VHF Channel 2 (55.25 MHz video / 59.75 MHz audio) based in Denver, Colorado, USA and owned by the Tribune Company. Its transmitter is located in Golden, Colorado. It is an affiliate of The WB Television Network. It runs a general entertainment format consisting of first-run WB shows, cartoons from Kids WB, sitcoms, news, first-run talk and reality shows, court shows, and movies.

History

The station first went on the air on July 18, 1952 as KFEL-TV. It was a DuMont affiliate, and became an independent station after the network's collapse.

Tribune Broadcasting acquired the station in 1966, and changed its call letters to KWGN-TV. From 1976 to 1983, KWGN-TV identified on air as Frequency 2 KWGN-TV, which inspired the name of a Peruvian television station.

As an independent station, KWGN offered a general entertainment format consisting of cartoons, off-network sitcoms, old movies, and dramas. It also aired a 9pm newscast (and still does to this day). It was the only independent station in the market until 1983. KWGN turned down the Fox affiliation in 1986, which instead went to KDVR Channel 31.

KWGN affiliated with WB in early 1995. Since the WB only provided a few hours of network programming a day, KWGN's existing lineup was largely unaffected.

Fox approached Tribune in 1996 for an affiliation with KWGN. Even though Fox already owned KDVR (which it had planned to sell off), KWGN was still a more desirable option as an affiliate, given its longer history and its news department (both of which KDVR lacked). That plan did not materialize, and KWGN remained a WB affiliate.

KWGN launched a weekday morning newscast in the late 1990s, titled "WB2day" (later renamed "WB2 Morning News").
