Channel 7 was to be the last VHF TV channel allocation in the Puget Sound area, and its license was hotly contested. In the end, it went to the owner of KIRO-AM, and the station signed on as KIRO-TV in 1958. It became a CBS affiliate, and competed heavily against KSTW, another CBS affiliate licensed to Tacoma. KIRO eventually won out, becoming the sole CBS affiliate for the Puget Sound area in the early 1960s.
