The evening news on the Seattle affiliates are interesting. KOMO (ABC) seemed to have the most presence with Jack Eddy at 5:30 and 6:30. This was more than KING and KIRO were offering, and has helped KOMO remain a strong contender for many decades, (actually up to recent years). KING (NBC) revamped in 1971 and started to gain. KIRO (CBS) was just about to launch their new happy talk "Eyewitness News" format, which went through some struggles in the 70's, but failed to gain traction until the 80's when they became the most "sensational" news product. Since, it has mostly been KOMO and KING, but of late KIRO has made some nice inroads. A very competitive and quality local news market. And today, Fox is bringing it too.

should that be Another World as LMAD moved to ABC
and is airing on the ABC affilliate?
 
WOW.

I would LOVE to see what a full day of TV on those channels looked like back then....

KTVW was exclusively in B&W (it existed on barely functional, hand me down equipment and programming) and had one of the WORST TV signals ever, right up until their bankruptcy and sale to the Clover Park School District in the mid '70s, where it was rechristened KCPQ, a non-commercial (but finally color) South Sound PBS affiliate, call letters the station STILL has today.

Although today (after a sale in 1980), KCPQ is now a full blown commercial FOX affiliate, complete with a 5pm newscast and one of the most state of the art TV facilities in the Pacific Northwest. A FAR cry from what they were as KTVW.....

One correction -- KTVW went acquired new equipment and went color in 1972, after it was sold to the company that owned it until the bankruptcy in 1974. In that bankruptcy, all of that two year old equipment was auctioned off separately from the license, transmitter, tower, and antenna. That worked out well for Clover Park, which had a fully equipped studio for their low powered UHF station, KPEC-TV on channel 56. They were able to take their existing studio and run a studio-transmitter link to the channel 13 transmitter and tower and get a major signal upgrade for a very low cost.

I say "low cost" because CP's cost for acquiring channel 13 was a real bargain: a $378,000 bid in bankruptcy auction, with $250,000 of that covered by Gaylord Broadcasting (owners of KSTW channel 11 at the time). So their out of pocket cost was only $128,000, which would have only paid for a very low powered UHF transmitter (which was an issue since the channel 56 transmitter was old and in need of replacement).
