Oregon's First Television Station

KPTV Channel 27

The show was called "What's Cooking With Barbara Angell," and it was broadcast live from the KPTV studios on Northwest 20th Street every weekday morning beginning in 1953. The guest list was as varied as could be: One day Louis Armstrong would show up, the next episode would feature Portland Mayor Fred Peterson, and the one after that would bring former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
