1 the wb had initially signed kstw in 1993 as its seattle affiliate ; 2 however that station s owner gaylord broadcasting backed out of the deal a year later to affiliate with cbs . 3 ktzz picked up syndicated cartoons formerly on kstw in 1995 added more off network sitcoms and moved away from the brokered format . as it began airing programming from the wb ktzz was helped in part by the fact that kcpq was moving towards news and more first run syndicated talk courtroom and drama shows . dudley communications sold ktzz along with sister station wxmi in grand rapids michigan to emmis communications in 1998 ; the two stations were then promptly dealt to tribune broadcasting in exchange for wqcd in new york city . 4 tribune changed the station s call letters to ktwb tv the warner brothers network on april 26 1999 . after tribune acquired kcpq in early 1999 ktwb s license was transferred to a trustee in the short term until the fcc s approval of television duopolies later that year though tribune managed and operated the station during this period via a local marketing agreement . in 2004 ktwb revised its on air brand from wb 22 to seattle s wb as part of a groupwide branding effort . mynetworktv affiliation edit logo as myq used from 2006 to 2010 . on january 24 2006 time warner announced that the company would merge the operations of the wb with cbs corporation s upn which cbs acquired one month earlier in december 2005 following its split from viacom to form a joint venture called the cw television network . 5 6 the network signed a ten year affiliation agreement with tribune broadcasting for 13 of the 16 wb affiliates that the company owned at the time . 7 ktwb was one of the three tribune stations passed over for an affiliation as cbs owned upn affiliate kstw which was included in 11 of 14 cbs owned upn affiliates was chosen as the cw s seattle tacoma charter station . ktwb was slated to revert to an independent station but on may 15 2006 tribune announced that it would affiliate channel 22 and two other wb affiliates that were not included in the cw affiliation deal with mynetworktv a competing network created by news corporation that is run by the company s fox television stations and twentieth television units . 8 9 on july 14 2006 channel 22 s call letters were officially changed to kmyq to reflect its new affiliation and the station s brand name was changed to myq alluding to its parent station kcpq which brands as q13 fox on august 7 2006 . on march 31 2008 kmyq became just the second mynetworktv affiliate in the pacific time zone to utilize an early primetime schedule from 7 9 p.m. the first was kqca sacramento which has since moved mynetworktv programming back to its recommended 8 10 p.m. timeslot . on september 13 2010 the station moved its mynetworktv programming to 11 pm . 10 kmyq changed its call letters to kzjo and rebranded as joetv during tribune s private equity ownership era ; the branding remains though the casual elements of it have been completely played down . on september 19 2011 the station moved mynetworktv programming yet again this time back one hour to 12 a.m. as of the 2015 16 season it airs even later from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. and is rarely promoted on air if at all to the point that the station s website says erroneously it dropped the network though this is not the case and mynetworktv continues to air in that latter time slot . kmyq kzjo aired monday night football games featuring the seattle seahawks from 2006 following mnf s move from abc to espn to 2012 when belo outbid tribune for rights to the mnf and nfl network thursday night football seahawks games and placed them on kong . digital television edit digital channels edit channel video aspect psip short name programming 11 22.1 720p 16 9 kzjo main kzjo programming mynetworktv 22.2 480i q13fox simulcast of kcpq 22.3 4 3 antenna antenna tv analog to digital conversion edit kzjo as kmyq shut down its analog signal over uhf channel 22 on june 12 2009 as part of the mandatory federally mandated transition from analog to digital television . 12 the station s digital signal remained on its pre transition uhf channel 25 using psip to display kzjo s virtual channel as 22 on digital television receivers . programming edit syndicated programming featured on the station includes the simpsons community divorce court and two and a half men . 13 newscasts edit on september 16 1991 ktzz tv launched a 10 p.m. newscast produced by kiro tv . 14 the newscast was joined on april 19 1993 by a simulcast of the 5 7 a.m. portion of kiro am fm s morning show . 15 both programs were dropped later that year . on march 31 2008 kmyq began airing a kcpq produced 9 p.m. newscast q13 fox news nine on myq now called q13 fox news nine on joetv monday through sunday . 16 translators edit kzjo is rebroadcast on the following translator stations callsign channel city of license k25ch d 25 uhf north bend k29ed d 29 uhf everett references edit taylor chuck january 4 1995 . ktzz to join new wb television network . the seattle times . retrieved march 30 2013 . kstw tv will join new wb network . the seattle times . november 4 1993 . retrieved march 30 2013 . taylor chuck september 13 1994 . cbs dropping kiro tv may pick up kstw industrywide shake up finally hits seattle area . the seattle times . retrieved march 30 2013 . kim nancy j january 11 1998 . nordstrom eyes first national brand campaign . puget sound business journal . retrieved march 30 2013 . gilmore girls meet smackdown ;
