WKBW-TV, virtual channel 7 (UHFdigital channel 38), is an ABC-affiliated television station located in Buffalo, New York, United States. Owned by the E. W. Scripps Company, the station's studios are located at 7 Broadcast Plaza in downtown Buffalo, and its transmitter is located at 8909 Center Street in Colden.
WKBW-TV is one of many local Buffalo television stations that are available over-the-air and on cable television in Canada, particularly in Southern Ontario. For many years, it was carried via microwave to cable systems in such areas as Corning and Horseheads; this ended when WENY-TV signed on as the ABC affiliate for the Elmira market.
History
1957–1986: Clinton Churchill/CapCities ownership
The Channel 7 frequency was hotly contested during the 1950s; the Buffalo Courier-Express and former WBUF-TV owner Sherwin Grossman tried several times to gain rights to the channel allocation (to compete with The Buffalo News's WBEN-TV), but was unable to secure a license. The competition for the channel 7 allocation continued to grow when the city's first UHF station, WBES-TV, failed. Clinton Churchill, original owner of 50,000 watt radio station WKBW (1520 AM) in Buffalo, was granted the license to operate the station in 1957.

The streets are dark and empty now Time for another day Well I walk alone collecting my thoughts That have gone astray All of the memories, all of the dreams Still remains entwined All that we've had, and all that we've known Are little by your mind I only wanted someone to believe in oh, but your words they're seldom found 'Cause when it comes to the problems that were meant to be shared You were not around Oh but you'll plead with me now You always stay You give it one breath then You're taking it all away [Chorus:] What is this love that holds me Captive in your eyes Well I wish I had the strength to leave it all behind What's done is done, and you do not give a damn Just another heartfelt blow by your careless hands I never thought in my life I could feel so much pain Trusting in your kind I never thought I could feel so alone A faith in love so blind But after all is said and done The song remains the same You please yourself and nobody else Will you ever change? Oh, but you'll plead with me now You always stay You give it one breath then You're taking it all away [Chorus:] What is this love that holds me Captive in your eyes Well I wish I had the strength to leave it all behind What's done is done, and you do not give a damn
