KOIN-TV always has been an innovator in local television news. KOIN was the first station in Portland to broadcast a one-hour newscast at 5 p.m. The first to bring Portland viewers an early-morning newscast. The first to fly a news helicopter. The first to use state-of-the-art electronic newsgathering (ENG) cameras in the field. The first to present the news in 16 x 9 Digital Widescreen format. The first to deliver news and information direct to viewers' cellular phones. The list of KOIN's television innovations has spanned three decades, ranging from totally live local programs to an independent television production company, from expanded local news programs to satellite weather animation, and from special documentary reports to community-oriented awareness programs.
