KVIQ-LD is the CBS affiliate for the Eureka, California market, broadcasting on digital channel 14.

KVIQ signed on in 1958 on analog channel 6 as an NBC affiliate, a satellite of Redding CA NBC affiliate KVIP before focusing on Eureka proper, independent from KVIP (today KRCR). It had ABC as secondary. It switched to CBS in 1987. In 2008, KVIQ switched off its analog transmissions and broadcast solely in digital. Breaking from the norm of keeping their old analog number as their virtual, KVIQ's virtual is kept the same as its digital, channel 17. In 2017, Northwest Broadcasting bought out KVIQ's license, rebranded it as KJRW and shut it down, moving KVIQ's license to channel 14 where it operates under low power and a duopoly of NBC affiliate KIEM/channel 3. The duopoly is now owned by Cox Media Group, whose parent company, Apollo Management, bought the Cox line of TV stations.

KVIQ's subcarriers were retransmissions of KUVU-LP (CW) and KEMY-LP (My Network TV). The CW is now on KECA-LD/channel 29. Its subcarrier is My Network TV.
