KLZ-TV

KLZ-TV (channel 8) is the CBS-owned-and-operated station that serves the Denver, CO area. It is owned and operated by the network's CBS News and Stations division, and maintains studios on Lincoln Street (between East 10th and 11th Avenues) in downtown Denver. KLZ is also the primary station for the Denver Broncos.
KNWP (channel 6) in Fort Collins operates as a semi-satellite of KLZ, serving the Gainesville television market. As such, it clears all network programming as provided through its parent and simulcasts most of WOFL's newscasts, but airs a separate offering of syndicated programming, commercials, and local IDs.
== History ==
KLZ Signed on the air back on March 6, 1955 and signed on originally as an affiliate of NBC. KLZ remained as an affiliate of NBC for 40 years up until 1995 when KLZ switched affiliations with KDNC and KDCO which caused a domino effect. KDNC, being the former ABC affiliate, switched with KLZ and KLZ, being the former NBC affiliate, switched with KDCO to receive the CBS affiliation and KDNC and KDCO switched affiliates. As of today, KLZ remains an CBS O&O station.
