KCWH-LD (channel 18) is a low-power television station in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States, affiliated with The CW Plus. It is owned by Gray Television alongside CBS affiliates KOLN/KGIN (channels 10 and 11) in Lincoln and Grand Island and NBC affiliate KSNB-TV (channel 4) in York. KCWH-LD is broadcast from a tower at the KOLN studios on North 40th Street in Lincoln.
For most of its history, KCWH-LD, under the call sign K18CD, served as a translator for KSNB-TV, whose signal was weak in Lincoln until its transmitter was moved to the KOLN tower near Beaver Crossing in 2022. It signed on in 1999, when KSNB-TV broadcast Fox programming; in 2009, the parent station left the air, only intermittently broadcasting until shortly before Gray acquired it in 2013. K18CD-D, now a digital station, continued to provide a rebroadcast of KSNB-TV, which broadcast MyNetworkTV programming before becoming the regional NBC affiliate in 2014. In 2018, after the station lost its tower in a collapse, Gray converted the station into a standalone CW+ affiliate, simulcast on KNHL (channel 5) in Hastings and the second subchannel of Fox affiliate KIIT-CD (channel 11) in North Platte.
