KCWV is a television station affiliated with AMGTV in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. It broadcasts from the former KDLH tower on Duluth's Observation Hill.
History
The FCC granted George S. Flinn, III a construction permit for the digital-only station on channel 27 on December 6, 2006. The station signed on November 30, 2009.
Flinn is a Memphis businessman who, until 2007, owned ION Television affiliates WPXX-TV in Memphis and WPXL in New Orleans.
At its start, KCWV was affiliated with My Family TV. Within a year after the station debuted, it re-affiliated with Legacy TV, a small Christian broadcasting network. Towards the end of 2012, the religious network changed its name from Legacy TV to The Walk TV. During late October 2013, the KCWV re-affiliated again with AMGTV, a family oriented television network.
On September 17, 2014, it was announced that KCWV will be off the air for a couple months, as the tower is undergoing replacement. It returned to the air on September 21, 2015 from a new, shorter tower.
