KWWT, Channel 30, is The CW affiliate for the Midland / Odessa area and goes by the nickname Permian Basin CW 5/14.

History

KWWT signed on the air in 2001 as KPXK, a Pax TV affiliate. It remained a Pax affiliate until late 2005, when KWWT moved its cable-only The WB 100+ feed (which was established December 1st, 1999) to UHF channel 30.

In March 2006 it was announced that KWWT would be a The CW affiliate through The CW Plus.

Digital television

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [http://www.transmitter.com/FCC97115/chanplan.html] , the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 17, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KWWT will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
