Our Story

The KOAA News5 studios are located in the heart of one of the fastest growing regions in the country. From the late 1800’s to current day, Southeast Colorado has provided the lifestyle craved by many. The area supports an incredible variety of climates, businesses and cultures. Communities are built along the edge of Rockies, nestled into quaint mountain valleys, and built proudly on the majestic plains. KOAA’s market area is BIG; covering 30,000 square miles. And since 1953, KOAA News5 has proudly served this diverse and culturally rich corner of Colorado.

A brief history
