In 1982, Bill Stuart left KMGH (channel 7) for KOA-TV and Linda Farrell, Sylvia Cordy, Jeff Hullinger, Stephanie White, Merrie Lynn, Tom Martino and Tom Bear all joined the station. In June, KOA-TV premiered "First News," a half hour from 4:30-5 p.m., co-anchored by Larry Green and Linda Farrell. Suzanne McCarroll was the featured reporter on the new show. Also in 1982, KOA-TV pilot/reporter Karen Key, 28, and mechanic Larry Zane, 28, died when Copter4 slammed into a snowy stand of pine trees near Larkspur, Colorado, while en route to the crash site of a commuter airplane.

In 1983, General Electric sold the KOA radio stations to A. H. Belo for $22 million. The sale forced General Electric to change Channel 4's call letters on Aug. 12. The new call letters, KCNC, stood for Colorado's News Channel. Also that year, Peter Rogot was named weekend anchor at channel 4 and Marty Aarons joined Bob Palmer and Janet Zappala in anchoring duties. Others joining channel 4 were Wendy Bergen, Karen Layton, Marcia Neville, Tom Raponi and Mike Silva. Marv Rockford was promoted to News Director.

In 1986, General Electric bought NBC, making KCNC an NBC owned-and-operated station (and the first network-owned station in Colorado). By 1990, KCNC-TV was broadcasting nearly 40 hours of news per week, nearly all of its non-network hours. General Manager Roger Ogden felt his station's money was better spent on local programming than paying syndicators of national shows.
