operations and personnel changes were made. The sale of the Fisher stations to Sinclair was completed on August 8, 2013. In 2016, KMTR remained the only "Big Four" network-affiliated station in Western Oregon to produce its local newscasts in pillarboxed 4:3 standard definition until finally switching to 16:9 on October 22. Beginning in 2019, KMTR began moving out of its original building in Springfield. As of summer 2020, KMTR's studios and master control room are in the same facility as KVAL, and KMTR has upgraded its newscasts and syndicated programming to HD. By the end of 2019, CW Eugene has been airing in 720p high definition over KMTR and KMCB (and all their associated repeater signals); however, KTCW (and its associated repeater signals) continued to air the subchannel in 4:3 standard definition, until it was upgraded by the end of March 2020. On July 28, 2021, the FCC issued a Forfeiture Order stemming from a lawsuit against KMTR owner Roberts Media. The lawsuit, filed by AT&T, alleged that Roberts failed to negotiate for retransmission consent in good faith for KMTR. Owners of other Sinclair-managed stations, such as Deerfield Media, were also named in the lawsuit. Roberts was ordered to pay a fine of $512,228. KMTR served as the host station for the 2022 World Athletics Championships which were held at the University of Oregon's Hayward Field. It was the only station on the West Coast where weekend prime time coverage of the event was carried live; all other West Coast markets aired coverage on tape delay.
