9NEWS--KUSA TV, Turns 70 Tomorrow.

Tomorrow October 12th KUSA TV celebrates 70 years on the air.   I will try to capture as much as I can tomorrow.  So Stay Tuned.....  

If you're wondering why I didn't do anything on KWGN's 70th back in July they didn't mention much about it.  It was Denver's 1st TV Station, then KBTV now KUSA signed on.  

KBTV's studios were originally a converted car dealership at 11th Ave & Bannock street. A studio location they used until 1992 when they moved into their current facilities at 500 E. Speer Boulevard in Denver.  There original studios became the home of KRMA Rocky Mountain PBS from 1992 to 2019 when they moved to 5 points.     

On Sunday September 10, 1995 9NEWS Switched from ABC to NBC in what was called "The Big Switch" we have an article on this blog explaining that switch if you want to read it, it involved stations in Philadelpha & TV transmitters in Miami. 

9NEWS has had some great promos so far showing some of their history, I can't wait to see what they show tomorrow.
