2007, Fox Television Stations entered into an agreement to sell KDVR and seven other Fox owned-and-operated stations to Local TV (a holding company operated by private equity firm Oak Hill Capital Partners), adding to the nine stations that the group had acquired in May of that same year when it bought the broadcasting division of The New York Times Company. The sale was finalized on July 14, 2008. On September 17, 2008, Tribune Broadcasting announced that Local TV would begin managing KWGN under a local marketing agreement and consolidate its operations with KDVR effective October 1, as a result of the formation of a "broadcast management company" that was created to provide management services to stations owned by both Tribune and Local TV.

Both transactions were nullified on August 9, 2018 following Tribune Media's termination of the merger and FCC lead commission Ajit Pai's public rejection of the deal. Nexstar Media Group announced it would acquire the assets of Tribune Media on December 3, 2018 for $6.4 billion in cash and debt. The deal closed on September 19, 2019. As Nexstar already owned or managed the state's other two Fox affiliates (KXRM-TV/Colorado Springs and KFQX/Grand Junction), along with KRQE-DT2 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which serves the southern reaches of Colorado with Durango satellite KREZ-TV, Nexstar consolidated its ownership of all Fox stations in Colorado with the deal.
