KFXO-LD is the Fox-affiliated television station for Central Oregon that is licensed to Bend. It broadcasts a Class A digital signal on UHF channel 39 from a transmitter in the city on Awbrey Butte west of U.S. 97. The station can also be seen on BendBroadband channel 10 and in high definition on digital channel 610. Owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company, KFXO is sister to NBC affiliate KTVZ and low-powered Telemundo affiliate KQRE-LP. All three share studios on Northwest O.B. Riley Road in Bend. Syndicated programming on the channel includes: Family Guy, The Simpsons, Two and a Half Men, and America's Funniest Home Videos. KFXO can also be seen on KTVZ's third digital subchannel (UHF channel 21.3) from the same transmitter on Awbrey Butte.
The channel is rebroadcast on the following repeater stations.
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
Through PSIP, it redirects to channel 39. It allows KQRE-LP to be seen on a digital signal because as a low-powered station, it does not offer one of its own.
The station began as K39DU on November 17, 1993 as a translator of Fox affiliate KPDX in Portland (then owned by First Media). On December 18, 1995, it upgraded to low-power level and became KFXO-LP. The Meredith Corporation acquired KFXO-LP and KPDX in 1997 when the company bought out First Media. In 2002 when KPDX became a UPN affiliate, KFXO-LP became its own self-sufficient station although some common operations between the two continued. On December 31, 2008, the retransmission agreement with local cable provider BendBroadband expired. Consequently, local viewers had to view the station using broadcast signals. Just before kickoff of the Fiesta Bowl on January 5, 2009, BendBroadband and KFXO-LP successfully negotiated a retransmission agreement that returned its signal to the cable provider in time for the game.
