About Pikes Peak Television Inc - KRDO
Pikes Peak Television Inc. - KRDO has been a trusted source of news, information, and community connection for Southern Colorado since first going on the air on September 21, 1953. As KRDO-TV Channel 13 grew, it became more than just a station; it became a familiar voice in living rooms across the region, keeping viewers informed and engaged with stories that matter most. For decades, KRDO built its reputation on local ownership, strong community ties, and a commitment to delivering journalism that reflects the values and needs of Southern Colorado.
That legacy continues today as part of the News-Press & Gazette Company, a family-owned media organization based in St. Joseph, Missouri. Acquired in 2006 from the Pikes Peak Broadcasting Company, KRDO has remained true to its founding principles while benefiting from NPG’s dedication to journalistic excellence and community service. Together, the KRDO team and NPG carry forward a shared mission: to deliver trusted news, compelling stories, and meaningful connections that serve and strengthen the Southern Colorado community.
