Another interesting note. In the early 1980's the owners of KAYS-TV would purchase KTVH and KTVC with the call letters to be later changed to the present KBSH, KWCH and KBSD respectively. It was during this period that KWCH made what was one of the most dramatic turnarounds in TV history, one what CBS would do a feature about on the old West 57th series. (At kwch.com they have a clip of that segment in their 60th anniversary series... 60th birthday for Kansas' first in-state TV station comes July 1st)
 
Since KTVH-12 had studios in both Wichita and Hutchinson, were their local newscasts partially originated in each city with two anchors, one in each city (a la Huntley and Brinkley)??
 
KTVH started out in Hutchinson in 1953, and added a Wichita studio shortly thereafter. Into the 70's they did the morning and noon stuff from Hutchinson and the evening stuff from Wichita. Sometime in the 80's (I think right after Beach/Schmidt bought it) everything began coming out of Wichita, through they do a lot of news stuff out of Hutchinson, where they to this day have extremely strong viewership. They also carry a lot of local advertising from Hutchinson businesses as well as from the towns around there.
