KWBA-TV (channel 58) is an independent television station licensed to Sierra Vista, Arizona, United States, serving the Tucson area.

The first attempt at putting a station on channel 58 in Sierra Vista was KCCA-TV (call sign standing for Cochise County, Arizona).

[5] Delays in permitting for the tower site on U.S. Forest Service land[7] held up construction more than anticipated, but KWBA-TV began broadcasting on December 31, 1998.

To make the $11.9 million purchase, Journal had to apply for a failing station waiver; even though Tucson had too few commercial station owners to normally permit another duopoly, it presented financial statements showing it had lost money for three years straight (with operating losses nearing $900,000 a year in 2006 and 2007[12]), a situation exacerbated by the loss of Diamondbacks baseball rights (the team moved all games to Fox Sports Arizona after the 2007 season), and pledged to start a local newscast from KGUN-TV for air on KWBA-TV.

The combined firm would retain its broadcast properties, including KGUN, and spin off the print assets as Journal Media Group.

[16][17] On April 19, 2024, CW majority owner Nexstar Media Group announced that the network would not renew its affiliations with Scripps-owned stations, including KWBA-TV.

As part of the rebrand, the station will air select Las Vegas Golden Knights and Utah Hockey Club games through Scripps Sports and acquire the syndication rights to GMFB: Overtime.
