The station was the first in the area to broadcast in color, use video tape, and air live coverage of area high school football games. Among the original programming that originated at KPAC/KJAC's studios were wrestling, the kid's western show "Cowboy John", afternoon Bingo, and the "Circle 4 Club". During the 1950s, KPAC also had the only local teen dance program, "Jive At Five". Both "The Cowboy John Show" and "Jive At Five" had "colored days", in which African Americans were permitted to participate.
