[edit] History

KDEN began broadcasting as a independent station on March 31, 1997. NBC purchased KDEN from Longmont Broadcasting in January 2006, making it NBC's second owned-and-operated station in Denver and their seventeenth Spanish-language television station.[1] (The first NBC owned-and-operated Denver station was KCNC-TV during the late 1980s and early 1990s.) The station joined Telemundo on March 6.[2] Before moving to KDEN, Telemundo programming was seen in Denver on low-power stations KMAS-LP and KSBS-LP,[1] themselves repeaters of KMAS-TV from Steamboat Springs; after the purchase of KDEN, KMAS-TV was donated to Rocky Mountain PBS and became KRMZ, while KSBS-LP was sold to Denver Digital Television (KMAS-LP remains owned by NBC).

[edit] Newscasts

Local news cut-ins were offered during Telemundo's national newscasts until budget cuts at NBC Universal led to the segments' discontinuation in late 2006.[3] However, on October 3, 2011, the station launched weeknight newscasts at 5:30 and 10 p.m., branded as Noticiero Telemundo Denver, produced by NBC affiliate KUSA, from that station's studios.[4]
