Local Programming
KVHP briefly aired news capsules and newscasts in the late 80's and early 90's before dropping them for a number of years. The station began airing local news once again in 1999, and expanded to producing a 2-hour morning show and 5 PM newscast within a year of the launch. KVHP was never considered a serious threat to
KPLC 's dominance in the ratings and by 2004, local news was dropped from the lineup entirely.Today, the station's only local programming is a 30-minute Public affairs program called "On The Air with Fox 29" which airs twice on Sundays.
