| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | 1949 |
| Caption | KING-TV went on the air on Thanksgiving Day, 1948. It was the first television station in the Pacific Northwest. At first, the station was on the air only in the late afternoons and evenings, and all shows were in black and white. Most television sets at that time had seven-inch or ten-inch screens.
This 1949 photo shows one of KING-TV's station identification graphics. The crowned microphone logo character, King Mike, was designed by Walt Disney for King Broadcasting. |
