List of former CBS television affiliates

CBS (an initialism of its former name, the Columbia Broadcasting System) is an American broadcast television network that originated as a radio network in September 1927, and expanded into television in July 1941. Throughout its history, the network has had many owned-and-operated and affiliated stations.

This article is a table listing of former CBS owned-and-operated and affiliated stations, arranged alphabetically by state, and based on the station's city of license as well as its Designated Market Area; it is also accompanied by footnotes regarding the present network affiliation of the former CBS-affiliated station (if the station remains operational) and the current CBS affiliates in each of the listed markets, as well as any other notes including the reasons behind each station's disaffiliation from the network. There are links to and articles on each of the stations, describing their histories, local programming and technical information, such as broadcast frequencies.

The station's advertised channel number follows the call letters. In most cases, this is their virtual channel (PSIP) number, which may match the channel allocation that the station originally broadcast on during its prior affiliation with the network.

Former affiliate stations

Lost CBS affiliation upon the sign-on of KTAB-TV. KTXS-TV's secondary ABC affiliation (which it had been sharing with NBC affiliate KRBC-TV) then became its primary affiliation.
Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York Adams-Pittsfield, Massachusetts-Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York	WROW-TV/WCDA/WTEN 41/10 WMGT/WCDC 74/19	1955-1977 (WTEN) 1957-1977 (WCDC)	ABC (WTEN) Defunct (WCDC)	WRGB 6 (previously with CBS (secondary) from 1942-1954)	Swapped affiliations with ABC affiliate WAST as a result of an affiliation deal signed between ABC and WTEN/WCDC's incoming owners, Knight-Ridder. WTEN's satellite station WCDC would leave the air November 19, 2017 (two weeks earlier than the scheduled shutdown date of December 1), not only because the station's spectrum was sold through the FCC's spectrum incentive auction, but also due to damage to the station's transmission line in a storm.
Hagaman-Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York	WCDB 29	1956-1957	Defunct		Satellite of WCDA. Signed-off in 1957 when WCDA moved its transmitter from Herkimer to the hamlet of Vail Mills, rendering WCDB superfluous.
Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York	WAST 13 (now WNYT)	1954-1955 1977-1981	NBC		Swapped affiliations with NBC affiliate WRGB, who were searching for stronger programming (at the time, NBC was in last place among the three major networks). WAST then changed its call letters to the current WNYT to reflect the new affiliation. The deal reunited CBS with its original Albany affiliate, since WRGB aired CBS programming on a secondary basis from 1942 to WTRI (now WNYT)'s sign-on in 1954.
Pittsfield, Massachusetts-Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York	WNYA 51 WNYA-CA 15 (now WEPT-CD)	2003-2007 (secondary)	MyNetworkTV (WNYA) AMGTV (WEPT-CD)		Secondary affiliation, with UPN (later MyNetworkTV) as its primary affiliation.

Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York	TW3 (cable-only)	2005-2006 (secondary)	Defunct		Secondary affiliation (TW3 was an independent cable network); aired CBS Sports Labor Day coverage of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships due to CBS's existing affiliate WRGB-TV airing the Jerry Lewis Labor Day MDA Telethon, and the inability of UPN (later MyNetworkTV) affiliate WNYA/WNYA-CA, with whom WRGB had a joint sales agreement, to air U.S. Open coverage due to new syndication debuts on that date.

KLYD changed its calls to KJTV in 1969, and five years later, the station swapped network affiliations with KBAK-TV, with KJTV taking CBS. Over the course of its history, KGET is one of a handful of television stations in the United States (including crosstown KERO-TV), at one point or another, to have primary affiliations with all of the traditional Big Three networks.
	KERO-TV 23	1984–1996	ABC		Swapped affiliations with ABC affiliate KBAK-TV in September 1996, as a result of an affiliation deal between ABC and KERO's then-owner McGraw-Hill. [3]

	WBAL-TV 11	1981–1995	NBC		Disaffiliated from CBS in 1995, and rejoined NBC (reuniting it with its original Baltimore affiliate) through a three-way network swap caused by E. W.

When WBMG signed on in 1965 and took the CBS affiliation, CBS continued to allow WAPI-TV to "cherry-pick" its strongest programming until 1970 (when the Newhouse family signed an exclusive affiliation deal with NBC for WAPI-TV) due to its poor signal and because, at the time of WBMG's sign-on, UHF converters were still required to receive UHF television signals.

As KTNT-TV, it lost the CBS affiliation and became an independent station in 1958 when KIRO-TV signed on (due to KIRO radio's affiliation with the CBS Radio Network), but regained it two years later (shared with KIRO-TV) to settle an antitrust lawsuit filed by the station against CBS.

The affiliation swap was timed so that KREM could air ABC Sports' entire coverage of the 1976 Summer Olympic Games before switching.

Fearing that it would have to make its secondary ABC affiliation its primary (since ABC was in last place among the three major networks at the time), KCMC-TV's owners successfully persuaded the FCC to collapse the Texarkana television market into the Shreveport market.
