Since August 2006, KOAA-TV has provided viewers throughout Southern Colorado high definition television (HDTV) by way of the most powerful digital broadcast signal in Southern Colorado. 

For more than two and a half years, KOAA-TV, News First 5/30 has been broadcasting several great shows and television's biggest events in high definition,absolutely free over-the-air.

These are just some of the shows and events available in High Definition (HD) from KOAA-TV, News First 5/30.

To watch KOAA-TV in HD, you need to receive our digital signal and have an HDTV with a digital tuner.   The easiest and least expensive way is over-the-air with an antenna on broadcast channel 5.1.  It's completely free and the cleanest, highest quality signal you can get.

You can also watch KOAA-TV in high definition on Comcast channel 705, which requires subscription to a digital package, plus their "HDTV" upgrade.  DirecTV and DISH Network satellite subscribers can also watch KOAA-TV in high definition if they subscribe to a specific package.  Please contact your service provider to confirm the availability of high definition from local broadcasters and what is required to receive it.

Great high definition programming has been available free, over-the-air from KOAA-TV for more than two and a half years.  To be clear: not all digital broadcasting is in high definition, but all high definition viewing does require a digital signal.
