On that same day, KVVU expanded its weeknight 11 p.m. newscast to an hour; this made KVVU among the very few stations to extend its late newscast to midnight, and one of six Fox affiliates (Kansas City's WDAF-TV, Washington, D.C.'s WTTG, Atlanta's WAGA-TV, Tampa's WTVT and Phoenix's KSAZ-TV being the others) to air a two-hour late local news block.
