History Radio origins KOIN began in 1925 as a radio station, KOIN-AM. It became part of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), now known as the CBS Radio Network, in 1930. During the golden years of radio, KOIN-AM was one of Portland’s major radio stations, with an extensive array of local programming, including live music from its own studio orchestra. As a CBS radio affiliate, KOIN-AM was the local home for CBS radio network programs such as the CBS World News Roundup, Lux Radio Theater, and Suspense (KOIN’s own history page has omissions and errors in its early days. KOIN radio signed on the air as KQP on November 9, 1925 and changed call sign to KOIN on April 12, 1926. KOIN became a CBS Radio affiliate on September 1, 1929. From: Craig Adams, radio historian). Television station KOIN-TV began operating on October 15, 1953 as Portland’s first VHF TV station. At the time, it was owned by Mount Hood Radio and Television, a group that included Advance Publications, owner and publisher of The (Portland) Oregonian; local investors and Marshall Field’s department stores.[citation needed] The Oregonian also owned KOIN radio (AM 970 and 101.1 FM). Eventually, Marshall Field sold its stake to Advance. KOIN-AM (now KCMD) and KOIN-FM (now KUFO) were sold off when Lee Enterprises purchased KOIN from Mt Hood broadcasting in October 1977. A year later a production company MIRA Mobile Television was founded. On February 28, 1971, both transmitter towers used by KOIN-FM and KOIN-TVhe 1,000-foot main tower and the 700-foot auxiliary towerollapsed during an ice and wind storm. The two KOIN (AM) towers, located on the same property, were not damaged. Nine days later, on March 9, 1971, KOIN-FM and KOIN-TV returned to the air when a temporary tower was erected on the site of the collapsed auxiliary tower. During those nine days off the air, CBS programming was provided to the Portland market (and, by extension, most of Oregon) by independent station KVDO-TV of Salem. (Oregon Public Broadcasting later purchased KVDO and moved the station to Bend as KOAB-TV. During the 1970s, KOIN had a few locally-produced programs on the air, including KOIN Kitchen (cooking show), and public affairs programs such as News Conference Six and Northwest Illustrated.[citation needed]) In 1976, KOIN-TV became the second TV station in the Portland market (after KPTV) to broadcast Portland Trail Blazers basketball games. Selected Trail Blazer games aired on KOIN-TV until 1996. KOIN-AM was the first flagship station of the Trail Blazers’ radio network, beginning in the inaugural 1970-71 season, and ending when the station was sold shortly after the Trail Blazers won the 1976-77 National Basketball Association (NBA) championship. By the 1980s, one of KOIN’s past general managers – Richard M. “Mick” Schafbuch – served one term in 1981 as President of the CBS Network Affiliates Group. During KOIN-TV’s 30th anniversary week in 1983, the station aired classic CBS programming from the 1950s and 1960s. By this time, the station had moved into its new location at KOIN Center. In 1984, the station aired the Japanese program From Oregon With Love. In October 2000, the Lee Enterprises television group, including KOIN, was purchased by Emmis Communications. On January 27, 2006, Emmis sold KOIN (along with KHON-TV/Honolulu, KSNT/Topeka, and KSNW/Wichita) to Montecito Broadcast Group for $259 million. The KOIN Center is the third-tallest skyscraper in Portland. Due to a dispute over fees, Comcast did not offer KOIN in HDTV for over two years after it started offering other local channels in HDTV.[citation needed] After Montecito took ownership, Comcast started carrying KOIN in high-definition on February 28, 2006. KOIN was also in a dispute with DirecTV over HD broadcast, as both sides claimed the other to be the problem.[citation needed]As of August 2008 KOIN HD is now carried on DirecTV. KOIN updated its website in September 2006 as part of a partnership with WorldNow. KOIN expects the switch to lead to over $1 million in revenue during its first year; the switch was characterized by Bob Singer, KOIN’s general sales manager, as a “creative new way” to boost revenue for a station with a “somewhat average ratings position.” On July 24, 2007, Montecito announced the sale of all of its stations (KOIN, plus KHON-TV in Honolulu and its satellites, KSNW in Wichita and its satellites, and KSNT in Topeka) to New Vision Television. The sale closed on November 1, 2007. In March 2008, KOIN relaunched its website through Newport Television subsidiary Inergize Digital Media, replacing the old World Now-powered site. The Web sites of several of its sister stations in other markets also joined the Inergize Digital Network in late December 2008 and early January 2009. On December 30, 2008, one of the 15 guy wires on the main transmitter tower snapped, putting the tower in danger of collapsing. (As with the 1971 tower collapse, this incident followed a prolonged snow and ice storm.) The Portland Police Bureau evacuated about 500 local residents and closed several roads around the tower, including a portion of Skyline Boulevard, the main north-south road through the West Hills of Portland. At first, officials feared that the wire itself — which is over 1000 feet long and weighs several tons — had snapped. If the wire had snapped, it would take several weeks to manufacture and install a replacement. Upon inspection it was revealed that one of the high frequency insulators incorporated into the guy wire assembly had shattered. Repair crews replaced the insulator by 4:00 p.m. the next day and the surrounding neighborhood was reopened to residents and car traffic. KOIN had to pay $1,500 to the FCC.

(February 2010) On February 1, 2007, KOIN became the first Portland station to broadcast its daily newscasts in widescreen. According to Oregon Media Insiders, during Montecito’s ownership of KOIN, its local news ratings declined in all time periods; among the four stations producing local news in the Portland area, KOIN had the greatest loss in audience share. For the first time in ten years, KOIN finished in first position in the 11 pm news in the May 2008 NSI sweeps.[citation needed] A strong performance from CBS prime certainly helped. KOIN News 6 at 11nlike a year earlier when it lost over twenty percent of its CBS lead-in shareeld its prime time share throughout its 11 pm newscast in the May 2008 NSI sweeps.[citation needed] In January 2008, KOIN’s owners, New Vision Television, fired news director Jeff Alan and replaced him with Lynn Heider. As a result, KOIN was forced to drop their slogan “Bringing News Home” because Jeff Alan had trademarked it under his name in 2000 before he worked at KOIN. Under new News Director Lynn Heider and long-time Creative Services Director Rodger O’Connor, KOIN News 6 at 11 increased its household ratings from May 2007 to May 2008 by twelve percent and its household share by nineteen percent. It increased its household ratings by 30% from February 2008 to May 2008 and its household share by 33%.[citation needed] According to General Manager Christopher Sehring, “The defining moment for KOIN News came in the third week of the sweeps. Up until then, we were having a strong ratings run against some terrific competition. Unfortunately, we then lost two straight nightsnd I was worried that these losses might shake our new-found confidence. Fortunately, our team roared back on Thursday night, delivering an 8 household rating by increasing Without A Trace 19 share lead-in to a 21 share. This type of comeback is indeed the sign of a station that refuses to toss in the towelnd will go a long way to helping us continue New Vision’s plan to reenergize this great operation.”[citation needed] This was the first time in a decade that KOIN has won any newscast. The hard-fought win at 11 pm was particularly impressive since the May Nielsen is the most important sweeps period of the year[citation needed] — and the 11 pm news is considered the most prestigious newscast of the day for the majority of television stations across the nation.[citation needed] On September 9, 2009 KOIN launched a new local program at 4 p.m. called Keep It Local. The show’s goal is to explore local neighborhoods and events that take place in Portland.

Digital television After the analog television shutdown scheduled for June 12, 2009, KOIN remained on its pre-transition channel number, 40 using PSIP to display KOIN’s virtual channel as 6. On June 12, 2009, KOIN stopped transmitting regularly scheduled programming over its analog transmitter. At 7:28 a.m. on that day, the analog signal (also heard at 87.7 FM) began carrying “nightlight mode” programming consisting of English and Spanish language public service announcements regarding the DTV transition. On June 27, 2009, at 7:06 a.m. KOIN stopped playing the nightlight program and played the station’s 25th anniversary special for their final 24 minutes of channel 6 analog; at 7:30 a.m. analog 6 (and 87.7 FM) was gone.
