Chris Egan KING 5
Being the biggest media company in the Pacific Northwest, KING 5 Media Group consists of multiple broadcast and digital properties. K5 is one of the strongest, most trusted local news brands in the country, providing the most extensive audiences across all screens among its peers in Seattle.
It all started on November 25, 1948, when “Channel 5” aired a high school football game, becoming the first television station in the Pacific Northwest. Eight months later, Dorothy Bullitt, a local businesswoman, bought the station and began its tradition of quality local programming. As a broadcast pioneer and visionary, Mrs. Bullitt decided to change “Channel 5” to the call letters KING.
KING emerged as a station with a reputation for excellence, as audiences quickly set the standard for stations across the country. on July 1, 1954, it was the first station in the Northwest to telecast in color and aired the first live, two-continent, three-nation debate via Early Bird Satellite. KING also aired an ambitious analysis and discussion of the Northwest’s energy resources called “The Electrical Storm.” This earned the station an Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia Award, one of journalism’s highest honors.
KING 5 was awarded the national Edward R. Murrow Award for Overall Excellence in 2015 and was again recognized in 2017 with yet another national Murrow for its continuing coverage of the Hanford nuclear facility. In 2018, KING 5 won three national Edward R. Murrow Awards for feature reporting, excellence in video, and large market TV website.
