KCDO has temporaly changed some programing.

K3 Colorado KCDO-DT has temporally changed somethings around.  Yesterday it moved Grit network to the main KCDO signal channel 3.1, sub channel 3.2 has gone dark, News Net remains on 3.3.  Light TV, This TV & Jewelry Television remain on 10.1, 10.2, & 10.3.  

KCDO & Translator station KSBS-CD (a low power translator on channel 10 broadcasting from Lookout Mountain in Golden, CO) is sale pending to the E.W. Scrips Company owners of KMGH, KZCO-LD & KOAA. 

No word yet on what will move to digital channel 3.2, but you might need to rescan your tv due to the changes. 

 

A look at the Denver shooting involing a 9NEWS/Channel 20 security guard.

I Didn't post about this right away because I didn't want to post anything onerously.  With that said this isn't going to be my typical blog post you're used to seeing here.  I am going to try to be detailed with this.

I am going to post the coverage from 9NEWS & then post the coverage from the other Denver tv stations so you all can see how this is being covered station by station. 

Personally I feel that so far 9NEWS is doing this the right way, by getting other reporters from it's Tegna sister stations to do the reporting. I'd like to see them lean more on NBC News for some of the coverage of this as well.   With that said below you will find all articles and reports related to this from 9NEWS, NBC NEWS & the other Denver TV stations.  I hope you all like links because there will be many of them.  I will also update this post as things develop.

KCDO K3 has been sold.

NewsWeb corp has sold station KCDO, K3 to KMGH & KOAA owner Scripps broadcasting, pending FCC approval. K3 already re-airs 7NEWS newscasts so this should fit in with little effort on behalf of scripps. 

The question now is what happens with all of the sub-channels on K3 including NewsNet, that will be answered soon.    It will also be interesting to see what happens with the K3 studios in Aurora.
