KRDO-TV, virtual channel 13, is the ABC-affiliated television station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. The station broadcasts its digital signal on UHF channel 24. The station is owned by Pikes Peak Television, a subsidiary of the News-Press & Gazette Company (NPG) of St. Joseph, Missouri, and is sister station to KRDO-AM and KRDO-FM. KRDO-TV is carried on channel 12 on Colorado Springs Comcast cable; Comcast channel 13 is instead occupied by Telemundo affiliate KTLO, which is on virtual channel 13.2 over the air. ==History== KRDO-TV first went on the air on September 21, 1953 as an NBC affiliate. At that time, KKTV channel 11 was a primary CBS affiliate with a secondary affiliation with ABC, and KCSJ-TV (now KOAA) channel 5 was the NBC affiliate for nearby Pueblo. As such, during much of the 1950s, Southern Colorado was served by two full-time NBC affiliates and a CBS affiliate that also carried ABC programming. By 1960, the formerly separate Colorado Springs and Pueblo TV markets melded into one single market serving the Pikes Peak region and surrounding areas. At that point, each of the three commercial TV stations became "exclusive" network affiliates with KKTV 11 retaining CBS, KCSJ-TV 5 (now KOAA-TV) continuing with NBC and KRDO-TV 13 becoming a full-time ABC affiliate. KRDO was one of the few ABC affiliates that didn't clear ''The Dick Cavett Show'' during the late 1960s and early 1970s. KRDO-TV had been locally owned by Pikes Peak Broadcasting Company since the station signed on. In April 2006, the company announced that it was selling KRDO-TV (along with KRDO-AM and KJCT in Grand Junction) to the News-Press & Gazette Company. News-Press & Gazette officially took over operations of KRDO-TV on June 26, 2006; in honor of Pikes Peak Broadcasting, it changed the name of its Colorado broadcast group to Pikes Peak Television. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KRDO-TV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
