KGWN-DT2
KGWN-DT2 is the CBS-affiliated television station for Northern Colorado. Over-the-air, it broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 30.2 (virtual channel 5.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter in unincorporated Laramie County, Wyoming (west of Cheyenne) between I-80/US 30 and WY 225. Known on-air as Northern Colorado 5, this can also be seen in Colorado on US Cable digital channel 5 as well as Comcast digital channel 8 (in Fort Collins/Loveland) and digital channel 14 (in Greeley). Owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting, the station has studios on East Mountain Avenue in Downtown Fort Collins.
Although identified as a separate outlet in its own right, KGWN-DT2 is considered a semi-satellite of parent station KGWN in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It clears all network programming as provided through its parent and most syndicated shows although some are seen at a different time. The station also airs separate on-air identifications and commercials. Although KGWN-DT2 maintains its own studios, master control and some internal operations are based out of KGWN's facilities on East Lincolnway/East 14th Street/I-80 Business/US 30 in Cheyenne.
Newscasts
In 2005, KGWN established a Northern Colorado Bureau in Fort Collins. This provided another source of local news coverage in the area in addition to stations based in Denver. On September 15, 2008, this operation was expanded after KGWN-DT2 launched a weeknight 35 minute newscast in partnership with the Independent News Network (INN). Known as Northern Colorado 5 News at 10, the broadcast is taped in advance from INN's facilities on Tremont Avenue in Davenport, Iowa. The news anchor, meteorologist, and sports anchor are provided by the centralized news operation and other personnel from INN can fill-in as necessary.
KGWN-DT2 maintains local reporters based in Fort Collins who contribute Northern Colorado-specific content to the show. Monday through Thursday mornings from 6 to 6:30, the station simulcasts local radio station KCOL-AM 600. Weekday mornings at 6:30, there is a local weather forecast segment which repeats several times during the half hour. KGWN-DT2 does not simulcast any newscasts from its parent station. On weeknights, the CBS Evening News airs at 5:30 on KGWN-DT2 as opposed to 6 on KGWN.
