KEPR-TV (channel 19) is a television station licensed to Pasco, Washington, United States, serving the Tri-Cities area as an affiliate of CBS and The CW Plus. Owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the station maintains studios on West Lewis Street (US 395) in Pasco and a transmitter on Johnson Butte near Kennewick.
Although identifying as a station in its own right, KEPR is considered a semi-satellite of KIMA-TV (channel 29) in Yakima, which operates another semi-satellite, KLEW-TV (channel 3) in Lewiston, Idaho. KEPR and KLEW simulcast all network and syndicated programming as provided through KIMA, but air separate commercial inserts, legal identifications and early evening newscasts, and have their own websites. KEPR is also sister to low-powered Class A Univision affiliate KVVK-CD (channel 15). Master control and some internal operations for the four stations are based at KOMO Plaza (formerly Fisher Plaza) in Seattle.
On satellite, Dish Network and DirecTV carry both KEPR-TV and KIMA-TV.
