1954–1958

Originally signed on the air on October 29, 1954, as a primary ABC affiliate on VHF channel 2. It was originally owned by Cole Wylie alongside KREM radio (AM 970, now KTTO; and FM 92.9, now KZZU-FM). The King Broadcasting Company, run by Seattle businesswoman Dorothy Bullitt, bought the KREM stations from Wylie in 1957; the radio stations were sold off in 1984. (Coincidentally, the former KREM-FM is now a sister station to KXLY-TV.) However, channel 2 retained the -TV suffix in its callsign until 2009.

On August 8, 1976, KREM-TV swapped affiliations with KXLY-TV and became a CBS affiliate; CBS had dropped KXLY-TV for constantly pre-empting or delaying its network shows; the staton kept its 1974 logo even with the change.

1980–1994

During the use of this logo, the Bullitts would sell their broadcasting assets to the Providence Journal Company in 1992.

The logo was similar to WJBK from 1978-1983.

1994–2007

This logo was based on the logo used for KCBS-TV in Los Angeles, KSTW in Tacoma–Seattle, and KTVT in Fort Worth–Dallas.

2014–present

On June 16, 2014, KREM's Facebook Page revealed a new logo. The red 'greater than' part of the logo was kept, but now the KREM letters are more compact, in addition to a different '2'.
