what channel is nbc in iowa

NBC in Iowa is on different channel numbers depending on where you live, because it’s carried by different local stations and providers.

Here are the main over-the-air NBC stations in Iowa (the “channel” below is their primary virtual broadcast channel, often what shows up on your TV as the main number):

  • Davenport area: KWQC / KWQC‑TV on channel 6 (NBC).
  • Des Moines area (also serves Ottumwa): WHO‑DT / WHO‑TV on channel 13 (NBC).
  • Waterloo–Cedar Rapids–Dubuque area: KWWL‑TV on channel 7 (NBC).
  • Mason City area: KTTC on channel 10 (NBC, Rochester–Mason City market).
  • Sioux City area: KTIV on channel 4 (NBC).

Because cable, satellite, and streaming services can remap these to different numbers, the exact channel on your TV box may differ. To be sure on your specific TV service in Iowa, use:

  • Your provider’s on‑screen guide (search “NBC” or “WHO”, “KWQC”, “KWWL”, or “KTIV”).
  • The provider’s online channel lineup for your ZIP code.

If you tell me your Iowa city and whether you use antenna, cable, satellite, or a streaming live TV service, I can narrow it down further.
