KMGH-TV
Encyclopedia : K : KM : KMG : KMGH-TV
KMGH-TV is the ABC television affiliate in Denver, Colorado. It broadcasts its analog signal on VHF channel 7 (175.25 MHz video / 179.75 MHz audio) and its digital signal on UHF channel 17 from a transmitter located in Golden, Colorado. The station is owned by McGraw-Hill.
History
The station first went on the air on November 1, 1953 as CBS affiliate KLZ-TV. The current call letters came in to use in 1972, when McGraw-Hill purchased the station.
KMGH had been one of CBS' stronger affiliates. However, as a result of CBS's partnership (and later merger) with Westinghouse in the mid-1990s, the network had to divest its owned-and-operated station (O&O) in Philadelphia, WCAU-TV (since Westinghouse already owned KYW-TV in that city). In a three-way trade, WCAU was sold to NBC while Denver's longtime NBC affiliate and O&O, KCNC-TV was sold to Westinghouse and became the CBS affiliate.
At the same time, McGraw-Hill had recently struck its own affiliation deal with ABC (due in part to having its stations in San Diego, Indianapolis and Bakersfield aligned with the network). In keeping with all of this, on September 10, 1995, KMGH became an ABC affiliate while KUSA-TV, Denver's longtime ABC affiliate, took on the NBC affiliation.
Shortly afterwards, KMGH opened a low-power station in Cheyenne, Wyoming to bring ABC programming to Wyoming's state capital, which was one of the few areas remaining in the U.S. not to have an ABC affiliate. This arrangement continued until 2004, when KKTU picked up the ABC affiliation and filled the void in the market.
