==History==
{{expand section|date=November 2017}}
KTBW originally signed on the air with the [[call signs in North America|call sign]] KQFB on March 30, 1984. As KQFB, the station was originally locally owned by Family Broadcasting based in [[University Place, Washington]]. Family Broadcasting originally was going to broadcast Christian programming from several sources. Before the station went on the air, a minority interest in KQFB was acquired by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. When TBN acquired Family Broadcasting in full, the call letters were changed to KTBW on December 18, 1984.
