News 13 Now
On April 3, 1997, the FCC released its initial digital television companion channel assignments. It assigned UHF channel 32 to KOLD-TV to build its DTV facilities, and began broadcasting in digital on September 11, 2003, with final FCC licensing coming January 6, 2004. KOLD elected to continue broadcasting on digital channel 32 after the digital transition on June 12, 2009, and continues to identify as Channel 13 via PSIP. Oddly, a 13.3 subchannel also exists which formerly carried until about April 2011 a message apologizing for the discontinuation of The Tube Music Network, which ended operations in late October 2007. On August 15, 2011, KOLD-TV added Me-TV to subchannel 13.2 and moved its "News 13 Now" programming to the previous vacant 13.3.
While KOLD's analog station originates from the electronics site in the Tucson Mountains west of downtown, KOLD's digital transmitter is at the Mount Bigelow electronics site to the northeast of the city.
KOLD-TV has a construction permit for a fill-in digital translator on its pre-analog channel 13 which will benefit viewers who live in certain rugged terrain areas that are having difficulty receiving the signal on channel 32.
(FCC) granted a construction permit to country
singer Gene Autry
for VHF channel 13 in Tucson. Two months later, on January 13, 1953, Autry signed the station on the air as KOPO-TV, the second television station in Arizona. Known as "Lucky 13", KOPO played up the "13" angle, coming on the air at 1:13:13 PM, the 13th second of the 13th minute of the 13th hour of the 13th day of the year. It was a sister station to KOPO radio (AM 1450, now KWFM
; and 98.3 FM, now KOHT
).
Channel 13 took the CBS affiliation due to its radio sisters' long affiliation with CBS radio. It also had a secondary DuMont
affiliation. In 1957, the station changed its call letters to KOLD-TV, playing off its sister station, KOOL-TV (now KSAZ-TV
in Phoenix
). KOOL and KOLD remained sister stations until Autry sold off KOLD to Universal Communications, the broadcasting arm of the Detroit-based Evening News Association, in 1969.
Universal Communications was acquired by the Gannett Company
as part of Gannett's purchase of the Evening News Association in 1986. Gannett had owned the Tucson Citizen
since 1977, and FCC regulations of the time forced Gannett to sell KOLD along with KTVY (now KFOR-TV
) in Oklahoma City
and WALA-TV
in Mobile, Alabama
to Knight Ridder
Broadcasting after just one day of ownership. The News-Press & Gazette Company
acquired KOLD in 1989, when Knight Ridder bowed out of broadcasting.
In 1993, Atlanta-based New Vision Television
bought NPG's entire television station group of the time, which included KOLD, WJTV
in Jackson, Mississippi
and its semi-satellite
WHLT
in Hattiesburg, Mississippi
, WSAV-TV
in Savannah, Georgia
, WECT
in Wilmington, North Carolina
and KSFY-TV
in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
. Two years later, New Vision sold all of its stations to another Atlanta-based company, Ellis Communications (New Vision has since rebuilt with smaller-market stations). Ellis, in turn, was sold the next year to a media group funded by the Retirement Systems of Alabama
, who purchased two additional broadcasting groups (Aflac
's broadcasting unit and Federal Broadcasting) several months later. The three groups merged in 1997 to form Raycom Media.
During 2011, the Raycom station Web sites are being redesigned to a uniform format (previously, the Raycom station sites were a hodgepodge of different formats that were inherited from their previous owners). As of October 25, 2011, the WorldNow-operated Web sites of Raycom stations in four markets (WBTV
, WTNZ
, WAFF
and WALB
) have yet to be fully updated to the new Raycom standard layout (although WBTV, WAFF and WALB use some elements of the new design) but are expected to have completed their redesign by Fall.
On November 15, 2011, Dallas-based broadcasting company Belo Corporation, owners of local Fox
affiliate KMSB and MyNetworkTV
affiliate KTTU, announced that it will enter into a shared services agreement
with Raycom Media beginning in February 2012, resulting in KOLD taking over the two stations' operations and moving their advertising sales department to the KOLD studios. All remaining positions at KMSB and KTTU, including news, engineering and production, will be eliminated and master control operations will move from Belo's Phoenix independent station KTVK
to KOLD. KOLD will also take over operations of KMSB's website. Though FCC rules disallow common ownership of more than two stations in the same market, combined SSA/duopoly operations are permissable (with such operations existing in Topeka
, Duluth
, Nashville and Honolulu).
On August 30, 2010, KOLD became the second station in Tucson to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition
.
On November 15, 2011, KMSB owner Belo Corporation announced that due to a lack of advertising revenue, that in February 2012, it will enter into a news share agreement with KOLD and shut down KMSB's in-house news department. KOLD will take over production of KMSB's nightly 9 p.m. newscast, as well as debut a two-hour 7-9 a.m. newscast on weekday mornings on that station.
