KIRO-TV originally signed on the air on February 8, 1958 as a CBS affiliate on VHF channel 7 and was first owned-and-operated by Queen City Broadcasting, only for its stock to be purchased by Salt Lake City-based The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in April 1963, which its broadcasting division later became Bonneville International in 1964.
Also used by HSV-7 Melbourne, Australia from 1956–1969 and TVW-7 Perth, Australia from 1967–1975.

September 1993–1997[]
During the period this logo was used, KIRO-TV began affiliating with UPN on a secondary basis when the network launched on January 16, 1995 (before Bonneville sold the station to A. H. Belo on the 31st). Two months later, channel 7 lost its CBS affiliation to KSTW (channel 11), in a group affiliation deal that included Fort Worth–Dallas sister station KTVT. This led to KIRO-TV being a sole UPN affiliate for two years; only to regain the CBS affiliation on June 30, 1997, when KSTW switched to UPN after the Paramount Stations Group traded KIRO-TV to current owner Cox Enterprises on June 2.
The "7" in this logo was derived from the short-lived 1993 logo above.
