Programming
KWTV currently carries the majority of CBS network programming, though does not air all CBS programming in pattern: its main channel is one of a handful of CBS affiliates that does not air CBS This Morning Saturday and delays the second half-hour of Face the Nation to early Monday mornings (both air on the News 9 Now subchannel, with the former program shown following the Saturday morning newscast and the latter shown in the half-hour following digital channel 9.1's airing of Face the Nation's first half-hour).
For a brief period in the early 1990s, KWTV preempted CBS News Sunday Morning; it also ran out of pattern The Price Is Right (at 11 a.m.) and The Young and the Restless (at 3 p.m.) from 1993 to 1999. CBS' Saturday morning children's program block also aired in a split pattern until September 2010, with one half-hour (currently titled Cookie Jar TV) airing at 5:30 a.m., while the block's other programs usually ran from 8-10:30 a.m. Until March 28, 2011, KWTV ran The Late Late Show on a half-hour delay at 12:07 a.m. due to its airing of Seinfeld (now seen on KOCB) on weeknights.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
