Just before kickoff of the Fiesta Bowl on January 5, 2009, BendBroadband and KFXO-LP successfully negotiated a retransmission agreement that returned its signal to the cable provider in time for the game.

BendBroadband filed a petition with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to block the proposed sale but it was still approved.

In 2002, the simulcast of KPDX's newscasts (by then canceled) were replaced with those of sister station and new Portland Fox affiliate KPTV.

In January 2006, this was dropped in favor of KFXO-LP's own separate news department which offered an hour-long prime time broadcast weeknights at 10.

At some point in time, KTVZ began producing a two-hour extension of its weekday morning show on this station.
