KEPR

What KEPR does

KEPR CBS 19 is a local CBS-affiliated television station serving Central Washington, with a primary focus on the Tri-Cities market (Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland). The station is operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group (NASDAQ: SBGI) and functions as part of a regional cluster that includes sister stations KIMA CBS 29, KLEW CBS 3, KUNW Univision, and KCYU Telemundo. KEPR distributes programming through traditional over-the-air broadcast television and a complementary digital presence anchored at triyaknews.com and keprtv.com, with live streaming ("Watch Live"), weather radar and cameras, and active social media channels on Facebook, X, YouTube, and Instagram.

The station's core product is local news, weather, sports, and general entertainment programming tailored to Central Washington audiences, including Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners coverage, high school sports under the "Friday Night Rivals" brand, school closings, and community features. Its underlying technology is conventional broadcast television infrastructure paired with a TownNews CMS-driven multi-station digital publishing platform; no proprietary AI/ML systems, APIs, or software products are disclosed. Content production is shared across the Sinclair regional cluster, enabling consolidated news-gathering for the Yakima, Tri-Cities, and Lewiston markets.

KEPR's business model is the traditional broadcast advertising model, monetizing its local audience through spot advertising sales to regional and local businesses, supplemented by carriage of CBS network programming and syndicated content. The station holds a federal broadcast license and is subject to FCC public file and EEO reporting obligations. It is privately held as a subsidiary within the Sinclair Broadcast Group portfolio, does not publicly disclose financial information or advertising pricing, and operates with an estimated 11-50 employees based in Pasco, Washington. The competitive position rests on regulatory spectrum rights, multi-channel distribution, and decades of community brand recognition rather than differentiated technology.
