Encyclopedia
KDVR, is the Fox
-affiliated television station
serving the Denver, Colorado designated market area. The station is owned by Local TV LLC, the media arm of private equity firm Oak Hill Capital Partners, under a local marketing agreement
with Tribune
-owned CW
affiliate KWGN (channel 2). Its transmitter is located in Golden, Colorado
. The station broadcasts its digital signal on UHF channel 32, using its former analog assignment of channel 31 as its virtual digital channel via PSIP.
KDVR is a more news-intensive Fox station with 38 hours a week of locally-produced newscasts, as well as first-run prime time, late night and sports programming from Fox. It also runs off-network sitcoms, talk shows, reality shows and court shows.
KDVR operates a satellite station in Fort Collins, Colorado
, KFCT, which broadcasts in digital on UHF channel 21. KFCT covers Fort Collins and other areas of North Central Colorado not covered by the main KDVR signal, and is the only full-power television station operating in the area.
. TV Guide
had listed a channel 31 in its Denver edition earlier in 1983 (as KX2AEG), but this was a translator station rebroadcasting the Spanish International Network (now Univision
). The station has never considered KX2AEG as part of its history. It was only in 1990 that Univision finally got a regular Denver affiliate of its own in KCEC).
KDVR began as a typical general-entertainment independent station running a lineup of cartoons, old sitcoms, drama shows, movies, and religious programming. When KWGN-TV
declined to affiliate with Fox in 1986, KDVR stepped in, and became known as "Fox 31" in the late 1980s. The station's original local owners sold it to Chase Broadcasting in 1990. Chase merged with Renaissance Broadcasting in 1992. Renaissance then exchanged the station to Fox for that network's KDAF
in Dallas-Fort Worth (which was to lose Fox programming to that market's longtime CBS
affiliate, KDFW
) in 1995, making it a network owned-and-operated station (O&O). After becoming a Fox O&O, KDVR added first-run talk and reality shows, but still aired no news programming.
In October 1994, KDVR opened satellite station KFCT on channel 22, which expanded its coverage area north to the Wyoming
border. Before KFCT signed on, channel 22 in Fort Collins was home to an early UHF station, KNCO, that folded because UHF tuners would not be required until 1964, and the area is very mountainous, making UHF reception even more difficult.
In September 2006, it launched the MyFox web-layout under the network's ownership, and the current logo debuted in January 2008. On January 18, 2009, Local TV LLC launched the current website KDVR.COM to distance itself from the MyFox branding mention, even though the same template is used with some modifications. The station's website can be accessed by both the domain names KDVR.com or MyFoxColorado.com; Since KDVR's owner Local TV, LLC operates KWGN under a local marketing agreement with Tribune, KDVR's website is operated by Tribune Interactive.
On December 22, 2007, Fox entered into an agreement to sell KDVR and seven other Fox O&O stations to Oak Hill Capital Partners' Local TV LLC, adding to the nine stations they had recently acquired from The New York Times Company
. The sale was finalized on July 14, 2008, with the change taking effect on-air on the 17th.
On September 17, 2008 both Local and Tribune announced that they would merge the operations of both KDVR and KWGN. Both stations will be co-located at KDVR under the management of KDVR GM Dennis Leonard. The move was done to allow both stations to combine news operations and share certain programming. The local marketing agreement
went into effect on October 1, 2008.
Dennis Leonard announced he was leaving the Denver stations on February 11, 2010. In March 2010, Peter Maroney has been named the new general manager for KDVR and KWGN-TV.
The station will become a charter affiliate of Tribune Broadcasting
's new digital multicast channel Antenna TV
upon its launch on January 1, 2011, it will be carried on digital subchannel 31.2. The network, whose programming will consist of classic sitcoms from the 1950s to the 1990s during the afternoon and evening, and movies during the morning and late night hours, will debut on Local TV, LLC-owned stations in other markets as well as stations owned by Tribune Company
on the same date. Interestingly, Local TV-owned KDVR was given the Antenna TV affiliation in the Denver market despite the fact that Tribune Company (parent company of Antenna TV) owns KDVR's sister station KWGN-TV.
, digital television receivers display its virtual channel
as "31".
KDVR began making plans to produce a primetime newscast to compete with KWGN's 9 p.m. newcast. The station built an entirely new "news and technology center" in downtown Denver, and on July 16, 2000, Fox 31 News at 9 O'Clock premiered (KDVR was the last Fox O&O to begin airing local news). Former KUSA-TV
sportscaster Ron Zappolo and former WMAQ-TV
reporter and Extra
host Libby Weaver joined KDVR, and have anchored the newscast since its inception. On Saturdays, KDVR also produces a 5 p.m. newscast. KDVR began airing Good Day Colorado on March 22, 2004, to compete with KWGN's News2 This Morning (known then as WB2 Morning News). Initially a 2½-hour newscast beginning at 5:30 a.m., Good Day expanded over time into a 5-hour block beginning at 5 a.m. As of 2008, the primetime newscast has done very well against its competition, while the morning newscast has lagged behind.
Under the local marketing agreement
, the news operations of both KDVR and KWGN have changed to benefit both stations as best as possible. While it does hinder both stations, they each produce a morning news block from 5 to 9 a.m. This competes with KUSA/KTVD
morning news block, airing from 5-7 a.m. (on KUSA) and 7-9 a.m. (on KTVD). KWGN discontinued its 5:30 p.m. news broadcast on January 12, 2009, while KDVR expanded its news broadcast to a full hour from 5 to 6 p.m. Also, before the LMA, both stations had a news block at 9 p.m. KWGN has scaled back its program to a full hour at 7 p.m. weekdays (an unusual timeslot), KDVR has continued its 9 p.m. newscast.
While KWGN has eliminated all weekend news operations, KDVR produces the same news blocks on weekends, as on weekdays. These basic news operations have ceased most news production on KWGN. While some recognizable and inexpensive on-air staff from KWGN have been grandfathered into the agreement, others have either been released from their contracts or rehired under contracts brokered by KDVR and Local TV. Currently, Chief Meteorologist Dave Fraser is under contract with both KWGN and KDVR.
In January 2009, Local TV LLC discontinued use of the SkyFox helicopter and released pilot/reporter Rob Marshall; as of June 2010, SkyFox is currently in storage and used on a rare basis.
On January 12, 2009, KDVR launched a 5 p.m. newscast, making KDVR the only station in Colorado to have an hour of news at 5 p.m. weeknights. On March 2, 2009 the station launched a brand new set and weather center in the middle of the newsroom for their newscasts. On April 22, 2009, KDVR became the last station in Denver region to launch local news in high definition
.
On July 26, 2010, KDVR launched a weeknight 10 p.m. newscast called "Nightside on Fox 31"; the newscast features a different format from the other newscasts, focusing more on in-depth stories, and comes from a new set formerly utilized by KWGN's weather department. The new set Nightside uses is in the former KWGN weather studio. On April 23, 2011, KDVR changed their branding to "Fox 31 Denver" with brand new in-house graphics and music.
