on january 24, 2006, the warner bros. unit of time warner and cbs corporation announced that the two companies would shut down the wb and upn and combine the networks' respective programming onto a newly created "fifth" network called the cw. one month later on february 22, 2006, news corporation announced that it would launch another new network called mynetworktv. on march 21, not long after it was announced that the station would become the market's cw affiliate, kwcv received approval from the federal communications commission (fcc) to change its call letters to kscw in order to reflect its upcoming affiliation change. on september 5, former upn affiliate kmtw became wichita's mynetworktv affiliate when that network launched. kscw became the cw outlet for the market when that network launched on september 18; the station also changed its branding to "kansas cw" on that date.

escape and laff were replaced by different networks in october 2016. gettv was moved up to kpmf-ld2, and comet, which is a joint venture between the mgm studio and sinclair broadcast group was launched onto the ld3 subchannel, with buzzr remaining on the ld4 subchannel. the main subchannel became a mynetworktv affiliate, with programming from the doctor television channel being broadcast outside of mynetworktv's programming schedule. if the station launched on a transmitter within the home market of its city of license, kpmf would have been the jonesboro market's first mynetworktv affiliate. for a time, memphis also had access to a second mynetworktv affiliate, wlmt, the cw affiliate in memphis, which ran mynetworktv programming on its second subchannel along with most of the metv programming schedule; however, mynetworktv programming on that sub-channel was eventually dropped, leaving kpmf as the sole mynetworktv affiliate in memphis. jonesboro eventually gained its own mynetworktv affiliate on september 3, 2018 when the ld3 subchannel of fox/cbs affiliate kjnb-ld/kjne-ld picked up the programming service to supplement its own metv programming.
