Newscasts
In May 1999, the station established a news department and began airing a nightly newscast called Fox 12 News at 9. The success of that broadcast prompted KTRV to launch a weekday morning show known as This Morning in April 2007. This was originally seen for two hours from 6 until 8 and simulcasted on KTRV-DT2. On January 11, 2010, the station added a weeknight newscast called News Edge at 10. The show competes with local news seen on Boise's big three affiliates and prior to September 5, 2011, was also simulcasted on KTRV-DT2. With the change back to independent status, KTRV added an hour to 12 News This Morning. Accordingly, with those additions, the station's eighteen member news department was planned to expand by six people. On December 5, 2011, KTRV announced it was dissolving its news department, due to Block's reorganization of the station.
