NBC Buying Denver TV Station

[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
NBC will buy KDEN, the Telemundo affiliate in Denver, from Longmont Broadcasting. The acquisition, pending FCC approval, would give NBC its first owned-and-operated station in Denver, Nielsen's No.18 TV market. KDEN would be NBC's 17th Spanish-language TV station. The company owns Telemundo outlets in most of the top markets, including New York and Los Angeles, and has been eyeing more acquisitions in fast-growing Hispanic markets such as Denver, the 16th-largest U.S. Hispanic market. If the NBC purchase goes through, the station would replace the company's current Telemundo stations, low-power outlets KMAS and KSBS.
