ABC17, FOX22, MyZouTV & Stormtrack 24/7

JW Broadcasting is the largest central Missouri television broadcaster providing four channels of high quality network, syndicated and local programming to the Columbia-Jefferson City television market. Formed in 2003, JW purchased KMIZ-TV and Fox11 from Chelsey Broadcasting and began building the group of stations from studios and offices at 501 Business Loop 70 East in Columbia, Missouri. Almost immediately JW began investing in the technical infrastructure of the stations and to date has invested millions of dollars in the group of stations. In late 2003 JW launched a new UPN affiliate for the market and expanded the coverage of the highly successful 24-hour weather channel ABC17 Stormtrack 24/7, one of the first local weather channels launched in America (first available in 1997!). Today, JW operates KMIZ-TV, the ABC affiliate for the market; Fox22, the Fox network affiliate; MyZouTV (KZOU), the My Network TV affiliate for the market and ABC17 Stormtrack 24/7.
