Raiders' ESPN Monday Night Football, Amazon Prime Video and NFL Network appearances. In the 2022–23 television season, Gray will begin to produce a syndicated sports betting show, Beat the Odds, from KVVU's studio. News operation KVVU-TV presently broadcasts 78½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 14½ hours each weekday and three hours each on Saturdays and Sundays); in regards to the number of hours devoted to news programming, it is the highest local newscast output among Las Vegas' broadcast television stations and highest of any Fox affiliate in the nation; in addition, the station's sports department produces Fox 5 Sports Plus, a 15-minute sports highlight program that airs on Sunday evenings after the 10:00 p.m. newscast. Prior to affiliating with Fox, KVVU's news programming consisted solely of daily news updates featured during the station's syndicated programming between the late 1970s and 1986. Meredith Corporation eventually started a news department for KVVU-TV; it began producing a 10:00 p.m. newscast in June 1998, the Las Vegas market's first local newscast in primetime, the program originated as a weeknight-only half-hour newscast; the broadcast expanded to Saturday and Sunday evenings in June 2002, followed by the expansion of the newscast to an hour-long program in 2003. For the first couple of years, the newscast was solo-anchored by Angelica Urquijo; the station originally did not have a weather anchor or full-time sports anchor; the sports segments were pre-recorded with voice-over work done by boxing analyst Al Bernstein. In July 1999, the station added a morning newscast that originally aired from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. The following year, the program was expanded by 90 minutes with the addition of a news block from 5:30 to 7:00 a.m. News programming on channel 5 would not expand again until September 10, 2007, with the debut of an hour-long block of newscasts during the 5 p.m. hour; with the expansion, KVVU-TV became the only local station in Las Vegas carrying a newscast in the 5:30 p.m. timeslot. One year later on August 4, 2008, KVVU debuted a half–hour weeknight–only newscast at 11:00 p.m. On March 7, 2011, the weekday morning newscast (which consisted of the pre–7:00 a.m. Fox 5 News This Morning and the 7:00–9:00 a.m. Fox 5 News: Live in Las Vegas until 2013, when the program uniformally rebranded under the former title) expanded to 4½ hours, with its start time moved to 4:30 a.m. On
