The 1964 Radio Annual lists Joe Kilgore as chief engineer of KOA 850 in Denver. At the time, KOA operated at 50,000 watts and was owned by Metropolitan Television Company, with studios at 1044 Lincoln Street.
Kilgore’s documented tenure places him in KOA‘s engineering leadership during an important transitional era when radio facilities increasingly incorporated modernized studio systems while AM broadcasting remained central to the station’s operation.
