Четыре станции делятся студиями на южной 8 -й улице в Колорадо -Спрингс; Передатчик KRDO-TV расположен на горе Шайенн .
История
[ редактировать ]KRDO-TV впервые вышел в эфир 21 сентября 1953 года в качестве филиала NBC . В то время KKTV (канал 11) был первичным филиалом CBS с вторичной принадлежностью к ABC, а KCSJ-TV (канал 5, теперь KOAA-TV ) был партнером NBC для близлежащего Пуэбло . Таким образом, в течение большей части 1950-х годов Южный Колорадо обслуживал два штатных филиала NBC и филиал CBS, который также имел программы ABC.
К 1960 году ранее отдельные рынки Колорадо -Спрингс и Пуэбло ТВ солились на один рынок, обслуживающий регион Пикс Пик и прилегающие районы. В этот момент каждая из трех коммерческих телевизионных станций стала «эксклюзивными» сетевыми филиалами с KKTV, сохраняющим CBS, KCSJ-TV, продолжая с NBC и KRDO-TV, становясь постоянным филиалом ABC. KRDO был одним из немногих филиалов ABC, которые не очистили шоу Дика Каветта в конце 1960 -х и начале 1970 -х годов.
KRDO-TV had been locally owned by Pikes Peak Broadcasting Company since the station signed on. In April 2006, the company announced that it was selling KRDO-TV (along with KRDO-AM and KJCT in Grand Junction) to the News-Press & Gazette Company. News-Press & Gazette officially took over operations of KRDO-TV on June 26, 2006; in honor of Pikes Peak Broadcasting, it changed the name of its Colorado broadcast group to Pikes Peak Television (NPG would divest KJCT in November 2013).

News operation
[edit]KRDO-TV currently broadcasts 36 hours of local news each week (with six hours each weekday and three hours each on Saturdays and Sundays). It was the first station in the Colorado Springs–Pueblo market to start up local newscasts in the morning, starting with weekdays in early 1983 (originally running 15 minutes in length and extending the length of the morning newscast over time) and adding weekend morning newscasts about 24 years later.
KRDO-TV's news operation was rebranded from News 13 to NewsChannel 13 on the same day that NPG took over the station's operations. Under NPG, KRDO expanded its newscasts starting with 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscasts replacing the single early evening 5:30 p.m. newscasts. It added weekend morning newscasts (currently airing from 6 to 7 a.m. and 8 to 9 a.m. both on Saturdays and Sundays) that started in the final week of December 2006. In June 2007 it started a midday newscast that airs from noon to 1 p.m. Both were first anchored by former KKTV anchor Eric Singer who would anchor KRDO's 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscasts. Singer later worked at the Gazette as a reporter and anchor on the newspaper's new media platforms. As of 2018, Singer no longer works in media and/or any journalism field.
On July 23, 2008, KRDO-TV began broadcasting Southern Colorado's first local newscasts in high definition (HD), beginning with NewsChannel 13 at Noon.
On October 10, 2011, KRDO-TV added an early evening newscast at 4:30 p.m. The early evening newscast was moved up and extended to 4 p.m. during September 2012.
