CNBC program Mad Money) by one hour due to paid programming. Syndicated programs broadcast by KETK include Rachael Ray, The Drew Barrymore Show, Dr. Phil, and Entertainment Tonight, among others. In its early years, KETK aired occasional 'community calendar'-type segments called TV-56 Dateline, hosted by the station's public relations director. These consisted of events happening in the station's broadcast area; the segments aired in a short format during commercial breaks. Also during this time, KETK aired 30-minute public affairs shows, usually once or twice on the weekend, called TV-56 Weekly. They were hosted by Nancy Davis, one of KETK's news anchors at the time. The first portion of the show was an interview with a newsmaker or other individual who had local relevance. The latter portion of the program, usually for at least 5 to 10 minutes, was Davis in an office with KETK's then-general manager, Phil Hurley. This portion would involve Davis fielding viewer questions to Hurley about various programming issues regarding either the station or NBC. That segment of the show was patterned after WFAA's long-running Let Me Speak to the Manager / Inside Television program.

By this time, there were newscasts at not only 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., but also weekdays at 5 p.m., as well as weekends. In recent years, the station has chosen to use the simple KETK News name for its newscasts.
