As Portland's only television station at the time, it carried programming from all four networks of the time: ABC, CBS, NBC and the DuMont Television Network. CBS programming was dropped from KPTV's schedule when Portland's first VHF station, KOIN (channel 6), signed on the air on October 15, 1953. KPTV then became a primary NBC affiliate, and also continued to air some ABC and DuMont programming.

The streets are dark and empty now Time for another day Well I walk alone collecting my thoughts That have gone astray All of the memories, all of the dreams Still remains entwined All that we've had, and all that we've known Are little by your mind I only wanted someone to believe in oh, but your words they're seldom found 'Cause when it comes to the problems that were meant to be shared You were not around Oh but you'll plead with me now You always stay You give it one breath then You're taking it all away [Chorus:] What is this love that holds me Captive in your eyes Well I wish I had the strength to leave it all behind What's done is done, and you do not give a damn Just another heartfelt blow by your careless hands I never thought in my life I could feel so much pain Trusting in your kind I never thought I could feel so alone A faith in love so blind But after all is said and done The song remains the same You please yourself and nobody else Will you ever change? Oh, but you'll plead with me now You always stay You give it one breath then You're taking it all away [Chorus:] What is this love that holds me Captive in your eyes Well I wish I had the strength to leave it all behind What's done is done, and you do not give a damn
