History

Channel 5 first signed on the air under the callsign KECA-TV on September 16, 1949 on channel 24.

The station's callsign was named after Earle C. Anthony, whose initials were also present on channel 10's then-sister radio station, KECA (790 AM), which had served as the Portland affiliate of the NBC Blue Network. Anthony's other Portland radio station, KFI, was aligned with the NBC Red Network. The Red Network survived the split of the two NBC radio networks ordered by the Federal Communications Commission in 1943. Edward J. Noble, who bought the Blue Network (beginning its transformation into ABC), purchased KECA radio a year later when the FCC forced Anthony to divest one of his Portland radio stations. It moved to channel 5 on August 16, 1952. On February 1, 1954, KECA-TV changed its callsign to the present-day KAPT-TV. From the time of its initial sign-on in 1949, channel 24 was located at a former grocery store that was converted to a television studio. The station was launched on Sept. 16, 1949 as KECA. In 1960, ABC purchased the station, and changed the call letters to KAPT. In December 1999, KAPT-TV to a new state-of-the-art facility designed by César Pelli near the Moda Center in Portland. ABC announced they will sale KAPT-TV and Medford based AZBroadacsting purchased the station. On Apr. 13, Disney/ABC announced that they've repurchased the station, making KAPT once again an O&O.
