only Joplin–Pittsburg commercial television station that never has changed its affiliation, having been a Fox affiliate since signing on. On August 3, 2018, a 720p HD feed (branded as "The 4-States CW") of The CW's national CW Plus service was added to subchannel 14.2, succeeding cable-only "KSXF" (which was one of the many cable-only CW Plus and original WB 100+ affiliates with faux call letters) as the CW Plus affiliate for the Joplin–Pittsburg television market. However, some cable companies choose to stay with the same programming as "KSXF" (via a non-local nationwide feed of the network) and it is currently not carried on satellite. It was announced on March 24, 2022, that both KOAM-TV and KFJX-TV were approved to increase their power. The KOAM power will be increased from 14.8 kilowatts to 98.8 kilowatts and the power for KFJX will be increased from 5.6 kilowatts to 45.1 kilowatts. The project will also add vertical polarization. They will both temporarily broadcast at a lower power while construction is being completed. On June 20, 2022, KOAM and KFJX started broadcasting at a lower height of 760 feet and a lower power output in preparation to have their new transmitters installed by the end of June or early July. On July 9, 2022, KOAM and KFJX started broadcasting on their brand new transmitters with a higher power output than before. Programming KFJX clears the complete Fox network schedule in pattern, including Weekend Marketplace on Saturday mornings, and Xploration Station Sunday mornings. Syndicated programming on KFJX includes Right This Minute, Family Feud, Funny You Should Ask, 25 Words or Less, The Doctors, AgDay (which also airs on KSNF), Hot Bench, and Judge Judy. Newscasts The station airs a nightly 9 p.m. newscast, produced by KOAM, that debuted on April 5, 2004, and expanded to include a weekend edition in the fall of 2005. On June 1, 2010, the weekday edition of Fox 14 News at Nine expanded to an hour. In the spring of 2012, KFJX began airing a rebroadcast of the KOAM Morning News starting at 7 a.m. It was briefly discontinued, but was brought back on January 28, 2019 under the new brand KOAM Morning News on Fox 14. On April 1, 2019, the 9 p.m. newscast was rebranded as KOAM News at Nine on Fox 14. Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: See also KOAM-TV References External links KFJX Official
