on weekdays from 5 to 8. The main channel produces a prime time newscast weeknights at 9 on KRIS-DT2 and sister station KDF
. However, each channel has its own title and opening for the show. After KRIS-TV and former rival KZTV joined forces, the former moved into the latter's facilities in September 2010.
Due to technical issues with the move of KRIS-TV it was not able to air newscasts from September 26 until September 28. That station unveiled a brand new high definition-ready set and graphics package on September 29. Eventually, KRIS-TV will stream all of its newscasts on the website. Previously, it had streamed the weekday noon show online.
