Programming
Syndicated programming seen on KUSA includes The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Entertainment Tonight, Extra and The Doctors. The station airs the fourth hour of Today two hours later than most NBC affiliates at 11 a.m., and airs Days of Our Lives out of pattern at 2 p.m. (secondary to NBC's primary recommended 1 p.m. timeslot), due to The Doctors airing in that timeslot (Days ran at 3 p.m. upon joining NBC in 1995 and continued to air in that slot until the fall of 2003, when it acquired Ellen and moved Days to 1 p.m., where it remained until the 2007 cancellation of Passions).
KUSA produces a weekdaily lifestyle program called Colorado & Company, that features paid segments by local companies and made its debut in September 2004; it airs at 10 a.m. following the third hour of Today. Colorado & Company was rebroadcast on KPXC-TV from its debut, until the conclusion of NBC's affiliate partnership and joint ownership of Pax TV. KUSA ran the Gannett ID and sounder (often colloquially nicknamed the "Death Star") at the end of the station's weeknight 6 p.m. newscasts from 1994 to 2011; in June 2011, KUSA began to show Gannett's new corporate ID tag at the end of all of the station's newscasts, except for the weekday morning programs.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
