The channel was created through the merger of Salem-based KGW (which served as the flagship station for Fox Sports Net Northwest) and Bellevue-based KSTW (the former UPN affiliate which became a MyNetworkTV affiliate after the service launched on September 5, 2006), with KGW’s studio facilities becoming the network’s headquarters.
