WPCW is an owned-and-operated television station of The CW for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that is licensed to Jeannette. WPCW is owned by the CBS Corporation subsidiary CBS Television Stations and shares its studio facilities with sister station KDKA-TV at Gateway Center in downtown Pittsburgh, and its transmitter is located in the Perry North section of Pittsburgh.
By way of extended cable coverage, WPCW also serves as the default CW affiliate for the Johnstown-Altoona-State College television market, since that area currently lacks a CW affiliate of its own. WPCW was a Johnstown station for most of its history.
