    Default Channel 7 marks 60 years of Denver TV

    From The Denver Post:


    And now a bit of local broadcasting history. Channel 7 today marks 60 years of broadcasting. To help viewers recall the years, the station has posted a celebratory slideshow.
    The old KLZ studios, an early “mobile unit” (ie. vintage car with an antenna attached), baby-faced Jim Redmond, Bertha Lynn and more are included. Fred & Fae, the reigning kidvid personalities of the ’60s, Bob Palmer, Carl Akers and other veterans of the station seem to be left out.
    KLZ-TV Channel 7 went on the air as a CBS affiliate in 1953. It was the first Denver station to have a bureau in Washington, D.C., back when that was an economic possibility. It was the first Colorado station to get cameras inside a courtroom in 1955. Channel 7 carried one of the first global live satellite TV interviews, with President Dwight Eisenhower in the Channel 7 studio and Winston Churchill in England.
    In the market’s 1995 affiliation swap, Channel 7 (then KMGH for owner McGraw-Hill) went from CBS to ABC. It remains an ABC affiliate, now owned by E.W. Scripps Company.

    I also didn't see references to other well known personalities that have worked at KMGH:

    Bill O'Reilly - reporter (now host of The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel)
    Harry Smith - reporter/anchor 1982–1985 (now at NBC News)
    Chris Fowler - sports intern 1986 (now at ESPN - host of College GameDay)
