Q13 Fox (KCPQ) is the Fox-affiliated television station serving the Seattle-Tacoma, Washington market. Licensed to Tacoma, it broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on VHF channel 13 from a transmitter on Gold Mountain in Bremerton.
KCPQ adopted its now-familiar Q13 branding in 1980. In 1986, Q13 Fox became one of the first affiliates of the
Fox Broadcasting Company. As the Fox network’s viewership and ratings grew in the 1990s, it gained prominence as a broadcaster in the local Seattle market.
Q13 Fox News offers Seattle news; traffic, sports, and weather updates; and Seahawks football information.
The current news operation began on January 19, 1998, when it launched a new 35-minute 10 p.m. program, which initially ran from Sunday to Thursday. Q13 Fox also launched a morning newscast on January 17, 2000, which eventually expanded to its current 5-1/2 hour telecast. On March 31, 2008, the station launched a 9 p.m. newscast on KZJO, formerly KMYQ. In June 2011, it added a 5 p.m. newscast. Washington’s Most Wanted, hosted by anchor David Rose, also airs on KCPQ and KZJO.
The Tribune Company acquired Q13 Fox in August 1998. It is sister to MyNetworkTV affiliate KZJO.
Q13 Fox is operated from Seattle, Washington.
