Studios of KCPQ and KZJO in Seattle
Studios of KCPQ and KZJO in Seattle

KCPQ (channel 13) is a television station licensed to Tacoma, Washington, U.S., broadcasting the Fox network in the Seattle area. It is owned and operated by the network and shares its studios in Seattle with KZJO. Built in 1953, it signed on as KMO-TV and was soon acquired by Seattle broadcaster J. Elroy McCaw, who ran it as KTVW cheaply. His estate sold the station in 1972; it fell into court-appointed receivership in 1974 and was taken off the air. The Clover Park School District acquired the station, which it used to replace KPEC-TV, and operated it as public television station KCPQ between 1976 and 1980. Due to financial exigencies, the school district sold the station to commercial interest Kelly Broadcasting in 1980. KCPQ became a successful independent station, affiliated with Fox in 1986, and started producing local newscasts. Tribune Broadcasting acquired the station in 1999; Fox purchased it in 2020 from Nexstar Media Group after multiple attempts to own a station in the market. (Full article...)
