KTTW aired on analog channel 17 since its inception. but while most TV stations kept their PSIP virtual channels the same as their former analog channel after the digital transition, KTTW rebranded from "Fox 17" to "Fox 7" and shows up on PSIP virtual channel 7. KTTW has never had a news operation.
