The 10 O'Clock News
January 5, 1970 - present
Beginning in the winter of 1970,
KPTV began producing a nightly 10pm newscast, seven nights a week. The first
nightly effort in the Portland market, the move was effective
counter-programming to the traditional 11pm newscasts on the network affiliates.
Although, at times, KPTV has faced direct news competition at this hour, first
from KVDO (3) in Salem; later KPDX (49), and after consolidating with KPDX, from
KGW broadcasting on KPXG (22), the PAX affiliate, The 10 O'Clock News
continues to lead the pack.
To better cover the various
anchor teams and on-air looks of this program, it has been divided into four decades.
