KSPR-TV, VHF analog channel 6, was a CBS-affiliated television station in Casper, Wyoming, United States, between 1957 and 1959.
[1] Coinciding with the launch of the television station, KSPR radio and TV moved into new quarters on East Second Street.
[2] By July 1959, reports were circulating that KSPR-TV would close before year's end, and the fuel on the fire only accelerated when Rocky Mountain Tele Stations, owner of KTWO-TV (channel 2), announced it would buy KSPR radio from their common owner, Don Hathaway,[3] for $150,000.
[8] In his testimony, Hathaway noted that the cable system, which had 6,000 subscribers prior to the launch of KTWO-TV, had dropped to 3,500 when KSPR-TV took to the air and was growing again with Casper back to one local outlet.
[11] A further commercial application was made in 1964 by Duhamel Broadcasting Enterprises, owner of KOTA-TV in Rapid City, South Dakota.
