KING was the first station in the Northwest to telecast color, and to air the first live, two-continent, three-nation debate via Early Bird Satellite. KING 5 also aired an ambitious analysis and discussion of the Northwest’s energy resources and management called The Electrical Storm. This earned the station an Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia Award, one of broadcastings highest honors.
