KWWL is a television station operating out of Waterloo, Iowa. The station operates on VHF channel 7. KWWL is owned by Quincy Newspapers. Its transmitter is located at the AFLAC Tower north of Rowley, Iowa.

KWWL is an affiliate of NBC. The station is the primary NBC affiliate for the northeastern third of the state of Iowa, incuding 21 counties and the larger cities of Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque and Iowa City. The station's headquarters is in Waterloo, Iowa. KWWL also operates newsrooms and sales offices in Cedar Rapids and Dubuque.

In addition to its primary digital channel, KWWL operates "KWWL Weather Plus." KWWL also transmitted "The Tube" digital music video channel until The Tube ceased operations on October 1, 2007.

History

KWWL came into existence at about the same time that other television stations — most notably KCRG and KGAN of Cedar Rapids, Iowa — began operating. (KGAN was WMT-TV at the time.) KWWL was founded by R.J. McElroy and the Black Hawk Broadcasting Company after a legal battle with a rival group in Waterloo. McElroy and Black Hawk Broadcasting won a lawsuit which allowed them to be granted a Federal Communications Commission license.

Black Hawk Broadcasting sold the station to the American Family Life Insurance Company or AFLAC's broadcast division in 1980. Alabama-based Raycom Media later bought KWWL and six other stations from AFLAC. In 2006, Raycom sold KWWL and a handful of other stations following it's purchase of The Liberty Corporation in late 2005. Quincy Newspapers, Inc. became owner of KWWL on July 1, 2006. QNI owns about a dozen television stations, primarily in the Midwest. Other QNI stations serving parts of Iowa include KTIV in Sioux City and KTTC in Rochester, Minnesota. QNI's flagship station, WGEM also serves far southeastern Iowa.
