August 2018, the station dropped LATV programming on its second digital subchannel and opened a third subchannel affiliating with Ion Television, bringing the network's programming back to the Amarillo market since low-power station K39HF ceased operations in 2014. Newscasts From 2005 until May 2008, Equity Broadcasting produced Spanish-language newscasts for KEYU, titled Noticias Univision Amarillo. The twice-nightly newscasts – which aired at 5:00 and 10:00 p.m. each weeknight – consisted of a single broadcast that was repeated later in the evening. While KEYU maintained its own locally based full-time reporters and photographers at its Amarillo facility, most of the newscast segments were produced out of studios located at Equity's headquarters in Little Rock, which served as a production hub for local newscasts aired by the group's Univision-affiliated stations. As with Equity's Univision newscasts elsewhere, the program consisted of nine minutes of local news and weather segments, accompanied by pre-recorded national and international news and sports segments produced for inclusion in all of the broadcasts. As a result of corporate cutbacks spurred by the company's financial issues, Equity discontinued the newscasts it produced for all six of its Univision affiliates (including KEYU) on June 6, 2008. After becoming a sister station to KFDA-TV, KEYU restored full-scale news programming to its schedule in September 2009; the station assumed production responsibilities for its newscasts, launching weeknight-only newscasts at 5:00 and 10:00 p.m. produced at the Broadway Drive studios.

Instead, at the end of the digital conversion period for full-service television stations, KEYU would have been required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut"). As a result of then-KEYU-owner Equity Media Holdings filing a bankruptcy relief petition under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code on December 8, 2008, the station was required to obtain post-petition financing and court approval before digital facilities were to be constructed, and had to cease its analog signal on February 17, 2009, regardless of whether digital facilities were operational by that date. The station filed an authority to remain silent if required by the FCC. While the DTV Delay Act extended this deadline to
