CBS Colorado

CBS Colorado is a television station in Denver, Colorado, United States, serving as the market's CBS outlet.
==History==
The station first signed on the air at 6:30 p.m. on December 24, 1953, as KOA-TV. KOA-TV brought NBC programming to the area which prior to the station's launch, was temporarily discontinued. The station aired an inaugural program followed by the Christmas feature The Lamb and the Manger. Founded by Metropolitan TV Company, owners of KOA radio, channel 4 immediately assumed the NBC affiliation from KBTV, due to KOA radio's longtime affiliation with and ownership by the NBC Red Network. http://www.allbusiness.com/medicine-health/diseases-disorders-respiratory/6207248-1.html
In 1965, KOA-TV began carrying most of NBC's American Football League game telecasts as the network obtained the league's broadcast television rights. However, Denver Broncos home games aired by the network had to be blacked out due to the team's inability to sell out tickets to the games. https://history.denverbroncos.com/season/1965/
In 1986, General Electric acquired NBC, resulting in GE's return to broadcasting and KCNC becoming the first owned-and-operated station of a major network in the state of Colorado. In 1987, control of the station has been transferred from GE itself to NBC, becoming a proper O&O. https://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/87-OCR/BC-1987-11-16-OCR-Page-0152.pdf
On July 14, 1994, CBS and Westinghouse Electric Corporation agreed to a long-term affiliation deal that would result in three of Westinghouse's television stations become CBS affiliates. https://www.nytimes.com/1994/07/15/business/the-media-business-cbs-to-add-three-affiliates-in-deal-with-westinghouse.html The deal initially called for CBS to sell its owned-and-operated Philadelphia station WCAU, however, CBS later discovered that if it sold WCAU in order to affiliate with KYW-TV, it would have had to pay hefty capital gains taxes on the profit of the transaction. To fix this problem, in November 1994, NBC decided to swap ownership of KCNC-TV and KUTV in Salt Lake City, along with the VHF channel 4 allocation and transmitter in Miami to CBS in exchange for WCAU and the VHF channel 6 allocation and transmitter in Miami. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1994-11-22-9411210600-story.html
KCNC-TV became Denver's CBS affiliate at 12:07 a.m. on September 10, 1995, after a rerun of Saturday Night Live ended, as part of a three-way affiliation swap involving each of the market's "Big Three" network affiliates. KMGH-TV switched its affiliation to ABC through a multi-station affiliation agreement with KMGH's owners at the time, McGraw-Hill. While longtime ABC affiliate KUSA took the NBC affiliation through a multi-station affiliation agreement with the Gannett Company, which itself was spurred by the initial affiliation deal that was reached between New World Communications and FOX. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-08-02-mn-30646-story.html
In March 2023, the station rebranded as "CBS Colorado", as part of a rebranding of all of the CBS owned-and-operated stations. At that time the newscasts were rebranded as CBS News Colorado. https://www.newscaststudio.com/2023/03/10/cbs-colorado-rebranding-denver-kcnc/
