This is all so strange, these subtle differences between the DEN and the
COS/PUB stations. It's actually fried my brain in that I'm holding off on
trying to comment on each evening's variances from the network feeds,
in addition to station vs. station. Whew!

Many thanks however to mleach for posting more neat stuff from the
TV Guide find. Is Saturday 01/25/64 still to come?


And again if anyone knows a (no doubt) retired Denver net affiliate
master control or video tape engineer from circa 1964, I'd sure like to
find out how the delays were done in terms of tape, film, and what
was same-night vs. a week late.

It must have been hectic during local station breaks at 4/7/9, as I'm
sure the MCO was switching sources into the microwave feeds to
COS/PUB (and maybe Wyoming too?), all while running the station
break which I'm sure was quite "dirty"--a few VTRs perhaps, but
more likely films and slides with either live or taped booth. This
was well before ACR-25s and (shudder!) TCR-100s.
 
The COS/PUB stations were not exactly fly by night operations. KCSJ-TV was broadcasting NBC programming in color in 1959. KOA supplied a VTR to new sister station KOAA shortly after Metropolitan bought KCSJ-TV in 1961. So, by 1964, KOAA had at least on VTR and I would think the much larger market KOA would have multiple VTR's. I'm sure KLZ-TV and KBTV were probably similarly equipped. While locally owned, KKTV and KRDO-TV were well equipped, too.

From the 1964 Broadcasting Yearbook (thanks, Old Gringo)...

The COS/PUB stations apparently did not supply their VTR inventory to the
publisher (and all were "net" only in terms of "colorcasting") for this issue,
however the DEN stations did:

KOA-TV 4 NBC--Ampex (3)

KLZ-TV 7 CBS--Ampex (2)

KBTV 9 ABC--RCA (2)
 
In reply #1 above, please disregard my inquiry about Saturday 01/25/64,
as it already exists here on the Classic TV board. I lost it's placement
earlier but just located again.
