KBCW (channel 44) is a television station licensed to San Francisco, California, United States, broadcasting CW programming to the San Francisco Bay Area. It is owned and operated by the CBS News and Stations group alongside CBS outlet KPIX-TV (channel 5), also licensed to San Francisco. Both stations share studios at Broadway and Battery Street, just north of San Francisco's Financial District, while KBCW's transmitter is located atop Sutro Tower. As KBHK, channel 44 was one of the UHF stations built by Kaiser Broadcasting and one of just two commercial UHF stations in the Bay Area to survive a boom-and-bust cycle of new stations in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was acquired by United Television in 1982 and was one of the launch owned-and-operated stations for the United Paramount Network in 1995. The station has been under its present ownership since 2001 and part of The CW since its 2006 launch. The station was one of the first UHF stations to explicitly market its cable channel position (channel 12 on most Bay Area cable systems) back to the early 1980s on an equal level with its over-the-air channel.
