KCNC-TV is the CBS owned-and-operated television station (O&O) in Denver, Colorado. It broadcasts its analog signal on VHF channel 4 (67.25 MHz video, 71.75 MHz audio) from a transmitter located in Golden, Colorado, and its digital signal on UHF channel 35 from a Low Power transmitter located on top of Republic Plaza in downtown Denver, Colorado.

History

The station first went on the air on December 24, 1953 as NBC affiliate KOA-TV. It was owned by Metropolitan Broadcasting, a company partly owned by famed comedian Bob Hope, along with KOA-AM 850. In 1968, it was sold to General Electric. In 1983, General Electric sold all of its television stations except KOA-TV, which changed its calls on August 12th of that year to KCNC-TV after the sale of the radio station to A.H. Belo. General Electric bought NBC in 1986, making KCNC an NBC owned-and-operated station. The station was broadcasting nearly 40 hours of news per week by 1990.

In 1994, CBS and Westinghouse Electric Corporation agreed to a long-term affiliation deal that saw all five of Westinghouse's television stations become CBS affiliates. This switch included KYW-TV in Philadelphia. After NBC won a bidding war for CBS' longtime O&O in Philadelphia, WCAU-TV, NBC offered to trade KCNC to CBS in return for WCAU. NBC also sold KUTV in Salt Lake City to CBS as compensation for the loss of WCAU.

On September 10, 1995, KCNC became Denver's CBS affiliate in a move that saw all three of Denver's "Big Three" affiliates switch networks. Denver's longtime CBS affiliate, KMGH-TV, went to ABC because KMGH's owner, McGraw-Hill, had recently struck an affiliation deal with ABC, while longtime ABC affiliate KUSA-TV took the NBC affiliation, probably by default (although KUSA's owner, Gannett, already owned a number of NBC affiliates, and today, most of Gannett's stations are still NBC affiliates).

Under the terms of the CBS/Westinghouse deal, CBS sold controlling interest in KCNC to Westinghouse's broadcasting division, Group W. Later in 1995, CBS and Westinghouse merged, making KCNC a CBS O&O, the second time in the station's history that channel 4 has been owned by a major network. In 2003, it rebranded as "CBS4" (although it retained the "News4" moniker for its newscasts for another 2 years).
