Beginning Monday 9NEWS @ NOON expands to an entire hour, the first 30 mins on NBC & the last 30 mins on KTVD/My Network TV. Also starting Monday 9NEWS@5 expands to an hour the first 30 mins on NBC & the last 30mins on KTVD/My Network TV.
NBC Nightly News will remain at 5:30PM on KUSA.
This is the first time 9NEWS@5 has been an hour long since late summer of 1992 when they were still an ABC station, World News Tonight was shown at 6PM back then, because the 5PM news was a full hour, with a 4:30PM Newscast.
A Little Denver TV History, and the early evening newscasts....
In the 1980s and early 90s hour long 5pm newscasts in the Denver market were not uncommon.
Especially at KCNC an NBC O&O at the time, KCNC Time shifted NBC Nightly News to 6PM so they could have an hour long 5pm newscast & the Colorado Evening News at 6:30PM, the station was producing nearly 40 hours of news between 1990 & Sept 1995. CBS/Group W continued this practice with the CBS Evening News being time shifted for 3 years after the network switch, when they finally started airing the CBS Evening News at 5:30PM. KUSA too had an hour long 5PM newscast from 1980 to summer of 1992 & a 30min 4:30pm newscast from 1990 to September 1995, when the 4pm expanded to an entire hour following the network switch to NBC.
