History
The license history begins with the establishment of K13OI in Estes Park Estates, which was a translator for NBC affiliate KUSA-TV.[2] The station was acquired by GreenTV Corporation, which owned KSBS-TV in Steamboat Springs, in 1995, and moved to channel 18 in Denver as K18FI; it later shifted to channel 67 and later 47, as KSBS-LP, one of two low-power stations bringing Telemundo to Denver.
In 2006, NBC Universal, which had acquired KSBS-TV and KSBS-LP in 2001, bought KDEN-TV in Longmont and relocated Telemundo there; it then donated KSBS-TV to Rocky Mountain PBS and sold KSBS-LP, which was by then a Class A station, to Denver Digital Television. Under Denver Digital ownership, KSBS-LP received a $23,000 fine for omissions in its public file in 2013.[3] Denver Digital sold KSBS to KCDO-TV in 2014, at which time it became a simulcast to bring KCDO's signal into the Denver metropolitan area.[4]
On September 22, 2020, the E. W. Scripps Company announced it was buying KSBS-CD and KCDO-TV for an undisclosed price, pending approval of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); this would make them sister stations to KMGH-TV.[5] The sale was completed on November 20.[6]
