KSKN began broadcasting full programming in December 1983 as an independent station and remained on the air for less than four years, during which two successive owners filed for bankruptcy. It did not return to the air until 1994, airing home shopping programs until KREM took control of its operations in 1997. The station then affiliated with UPN and later The WB before becoming Spokane's CW affiliate in 2006. KSKN airs local morning and 10 p.m. newscasts from the KREM newsroom.
