The Daily Press and KKCO began sharing an online relationship in April from the two media’s web sites, www.kkco11newscolorado.com and www.montrosepress.com.
The Daily Press began streaming video coverage in February of breaking news, local events and meetings, video can be seen on its web site. Extending this electronic reach into television was a natural progression into the dissemination of news and marketing information for western Colorado, Woody added.
According to the most recent Nielsen ratings/information, KKCO, Channel 11, is the local news leader in viewers at 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m., with more than 30,000 households.

The Daily Press is Montrose’ oldest business, established with the city’s founding in 1882. It is distributed to more than 13,000 print readers daily and averages more than 4,000 unique visitors daily to its web site.
Since 1997, the Daily Press has diversified its operations into commercial printing, online marketing and readership, direct mail marketing and book publishing.
