KOAA history
KOAA company history timeline
The station signed on for the first time on June 30, 1953 as KCSJ-TV, owned by the Star-Chieftain Publishing Corporation, owners of Pueblo's two major newspapers, the morning Pueblo Chieftain and evening Pueblo Star-Journal, along with KCSJ radio.
In 1960, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) collapsed all of southern Colorado into a single television market.
In 1961, Star-Chieftain sold KCSJ-TV to Metropolitan Broadcasting, owners of KOA-AM-FM-TV in Denver.
In 1967, it became the first television station in Southern Colorado to broadcast local programming in color.
When sister stations KOA-TV-AM-FM were sold off to General Electric in 1968, Metropolitan sold KOAA to local owner Sangre De Cristo Broadcasting Corporation (with shares owned by William Grant, Helen T. White, and Mahlon T. White) in a separate deal.
In 1980, KOAA signed on K30AA, a 132,500-watt translator on channel 30 in Colorado Springs, bringing a clear signal to the northern part of that city for the first time ever.
Cordillera announced on October 29, 2018 it would sell most of its stations, including KOAA, to the E. W. Scripps Company.
The sale was completed on May 1, 2019.
