purchased the station, promising to upgrade its syndicated programming and to launch a newscast. Although it never did begin a newscast, landing the Fox affiliation made KNXV a very strong competitor against KPHO. By the late 1980s, News 5, its news operation, comprised two newscasts: a weekday 11:30 newscast and Arizona's first primetime newscast at 9:30pm (years before KSAZ became a Fox station with a 9pm newscast).

(The ABC affiliation eventually went to KNXV when Scripps cut an affiliation deal which called for four of that company's non-ABC affiliates to switch to ABC; KTVK then replaced KPHO as the market's main independent station.) Phoenix was one of just four television markets where the CBS affiliation moved from one VHF station to another during the 1994 affiliation switches.
KSAZ-TV evicted CBS on September 12, 1994 upon that station's sale to New World Communications becoming final. CBS then moved to KPHO at that time. Initially, KPHO continued to run a couple cartoons and a moderate number of sitcoms during local time. By January 1995, the cartoons were gone, and then the station gradually added more newscasts and talk/reality shows, with the sitcoms being phased out and moved to KTVK,

(channel 61). KPHO has generally been one of CBS's weaker affiliates after switching in 1994 due in large part to the station's lack of a strong inventory of syndicated programming although its 10 p.m. newscast took the lead among English-language stations in total households in the November 2009 sweeps period. In stark contrast, KOOL/KTSP/KSAZ had been one of CBS's strongest affiliates and was in strong second at the time of the switch.
