KOIN

==1953–1961==
KOIN-TV began broadcasting on October 15, 1953, as Portland's first VHF television station and a CBS affiliate on channel 6. At the time, it was jointly owned by Mount Hood Radio and Television Broadcasting Corporation; Newhouse Broadcasting Corporation (now Advance Publications), owner and publisher of The (Portland) Oregonian; local investors and Marshall Field's department stores. The station took its calls from KOIN radio (AM 970 and 101.1 FM), which was a joint venture of Mount Hood Broadcasting and Newhouse.
