An anon user has added several claims for firsts and awards for KOMO to the article. I gotta say, without seeing some sources being cited for those claims, that I'm somewhat skeptical of them.
Some of the firsts being mentioned are also ambiguous. Were they the first to do it in Seattle-Tacoma? The Northwest? The country? Also, I do know that KOMO's been claiming its newscasts as being rated "the best in America", but I forget who it was that did the rating.
Perhaps the anon user (or someone else) would be kind enough to provide some sources for those claims in the article?

I've heard that KOMO says that they're changing the 5pm newscast to 30 minutes, moving ABC's World News with Charles Gibson to 5:30 pm, and put a 6pm newscast (for a full hour). They're confirmed as of now, and I seen a promotional campaign that they're changing the structure. They're not going to change the "First News at 4" scheduling. I think they're going competitive against KIRO-TV, which was the first station to broadcast a newscast at 6pm, with its slogan named "The Only Local News and Weather at 6". But with KOMO-TV changing its evening news structure, I think KIRO-TV should remove its current slogan because of KOMO-TV's 6pm newscast entry.
This was their previously evening news format had:

I've been thinking of a newer logo because of the new appearance released today. Could you try to look it up at various sources, like http://www.komotv.com? Thanks. Big top 02:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I've plowed through and tried to remove all the POV issues. This piece makes a lot of (sometimes outrageous) claims that need to be cited, or should be removed. Boisemedia 02:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
With that said, I'm removing the "sources needed" tags.

Instead, I put a missing info tag. This article conveniently forgets how their newscasts have done historically and in recent rating periods... Ranma9617 01:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
The following statement should at least be sourced and probably deleted: "After being purchased by Fisher Broadcasting, KOMO News began demonstrating a noticeably more conservative and sensationalistic bent to their news." 71.142.91.222 03:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm still confused about this. Everything I've heard indicates that KOMO's local newscasts are only 16x9 SD, not HD. Sure, they may be on the digital channel, but they're still SD. See page 3: NATASNW Monitor May 2007. - Joshuadkelley ( talk) 07:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
KOMO has been broadcasting its newscasts in HD since May of 1999( http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1999_May_24/ai_54715957). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twudude ( talk • contribs) 22:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
In an e-mail sent to me about 1 year ago from a KOMO TV Engineer, the Local news is broadcast in 16x9 SD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.153.87.191 ( talk) 09:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
What happened to Dave Crockett after 1980? Is he still alive? Bizzybody ( talk) 07:39, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
It appears either Brad Goode or Peggy Bunker will be leaving KOMO soon. On the Fisher Communications Career page KOMO is looking for a Morning Co-Anchor for weekdays 4:30-7:00 a.m. and report for the 11:00 a.m.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewgu111 ( talk • contribs) 07:58, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
As of now, no details have yet been released on the possible cause of the helicopter crash that took the lives of two KOMO-TV staffers. Watch the NTSB monthly listing for March 2014 for the preliminary accident report. — Quicksilver T @ 21:02, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Can someone provide multiple reliable sources for "this new logo" for KOMO-TV? I have yet to see one and the website still shows the logo currently in the article. Thanks. Corkythe hornetfan 22:44, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Corky and SmartAn01. I did my faithful recreation of the new KOMO 4 logo. In fact, I did not only the 3D vector recreation with the wordmark colored in the silver-white hybrid, but the 2D vector recreation as well with the wordmark colored in black. It may take weeks for the KOMO News website to be updated by replacing the past KOMO 4 and KOMO Newsradio logos with the new ones. Don-Don ( talk) 05:02, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
There's a better version of the logo here: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2015/10/KOMO-logo.jpg Rebel shadow 20:27, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Okay, sure. With your permission (and that of AdWeek), I shall do a faithful recreation of the all-black KOMO 4 logo. Don-Don ( talk) 04:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
Can you please explain your edits here, JerMolly2014? I have no idea what most of the edits you did on the article are, and some of them might be unnecessary or need to be backed with a reference. SmartAn01 ( talk) 01:18, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
