On November 1, 1999, KXTU successfully began broadcasting to Southern Colorado residents.  KXTU signed on as UPN57.  UPN57 was/is housed in the same facility as FOX21 and is also owned by Barrington Broadcasting Company, LLC.  In September 2006 UPN and The WB merged to form a new network called The CW.

The strong syndicated programming coupled with the aggressive CW's 6 nights of prime time reflects the primary target, Males 18-34. The daytime programs consist of the hottest talk and entertainment shows. The access area has reality based program to counter-act news programming the rest of the market carries. Weekends are loaded with movies, dramas and sci-fi thrillers.

CW57's antenna is located on top of Cheyenne Mountain. CW57 reaches Colorado Springs on channel 57 and via Adelphia Cable channel 7. The signal is also viewed on AT&T Cable channel 7 in Pueblo and Tri-Lakes (Monument, Palmer Lake area 20 miles north of Colorado Springs) on channel 26.

CW57 is housed in the same facility as FOX21, but is programmed as a separate unique station.
