KDVR & KFCT Celebrated 25 years of FOX31NEWS last night, it was July 16, 2000 when the first newscast hit the air, with anchors Ron Zappolo, Libby Weaver, Chief Meteorologist Bob Goosmann & Sports Anchor & Fomer Denver Bronco David Treadwell. They also launched from brand new studios at Lincoln Street & E.Speer Blvd,"The KDVR News & Technology Center". (This site was the former home of KWGN from sign on until 1980 when KWGN moved to the Denver Tech Center, KWGN moved back in with KDVR in October 2008.)
In 25 years they have also had 4 different owners.

>>>Local TV, LLC
>>>Tribune Broadcasting, Inc
>>>Nexstar Media Group

As you can see they have had several different logos since launching news 25 years ago, my personal favorites are the Present "FOX BOX" and the 1st gen "FOX BOX". The in house graphics used when Fox 31 had that steel looking logo always seemed off & cheap to me, it wasn't a great look.
When FOX 31 News launched at 9PM they also launched there own helicopter "SkyFOX" now it is a shared arrangement between all of Denver's TV Stations and there was also a dog that flew with the pilot every day.
