History

KWCC-LP began operation on December 10, 1989 as K13EZ. K13EZ now KWCC-LD was a Trinity Broadcasting Network or TBN affiliate at one time however, KWCC-LD is now an independent station airing local programing and real estate information. K13EZ became K47EW channel 47 on June 14, 1995 when the station moved from channel 13 to channel 47.[1] K47EW became KWCC-LP on March 10, 2003 when the station changed the K47EW call letters.[2] KWCC-LP change the KWCC-LP call letters to the current KWCC-LD calls on September 3, 2009 possibly to reflect that KWCC-LD is broadcasting as a digital only station.[3]

In November, 2015, after the sale to LocalTel, KWCC 47.1 relaunched as the NCW Life channel, adding more live programming to schedule, such as regional high school sports, Wenatchee Wild hockey, and Wenatchee AppleSox baseball. The community billboard and "The River" (which played classic rock music in the background), long associated with the channel, moved to 47.2 (an audio feed of "The River" was broadcasting on 87.7 FM, that has since ceased). "The Wenatchee Valley Visitors Guide" is on 47.3, featuring programming about the history of the Wenatchee Valley and North Central Washington.

On September 1st, 2016, KWCC moved the Visitor's Guide to channel 47.2, ceasing all operations of the community billboard. Channel 47.3 now airs classic rock videos 24/7, branded as "The River".

In June 2018, both the Visitor's Guide and The River music channel were pulled from 47.2 and .3, respectively, and have since gone silent, thou a Windows wallpaper background screen is currently visible on 47.2.
