Before KCNC switched to CBS, they had nothing but newscasts and news related programs when not airing NBC programming.


True but to be fair KCNC's newscasts weren't always Denver related. Most were though but some were Colorado related like a top story was about Grand Junction or some mountain town like Aspen. I think KCNC in those days had a newscast just for Fort Collins too. KCNC-Colorado's News Channel.
 
Two years later the Denver stations played network musical chairs with all of the networks switching affiliates.

...and the switch in networks also there was a change in their newscasts too. Even though KCNC's the late Bob Palmer said "no change in news" there was. Once they switched networks the Denver stations not really covered news outside of Denver, Sure if there was a major news story they cover it but the days of a house fire in Aspen or car accident in Grand Junction they didn't bother even KCNC.
 
When KCNC became a CBS O&O, Denver got the normal CBS daytime lineup in order with Bold and the Beautiful at 12:30pm with Price is Right at 10am. At the same time, KMGH aired the entire ABC daytime schedule with Loving added back to the schedule. However, it was several years before they aired OLTL and GH in the correct order.
