The station signed on October 31, 1954. It initially carried dual-affiliation with ABC and the Dumont Network. After Dumont dissolved, KREM continued as an ABC affiliate until August 8, 1976, when it swapped affiliations with cross-town competitor KXLY-TV (which was dropped by CBS for constantly pre-empting or delaying its network shows). KREM thus became a full member of the CBS network.
