After entering into the local marketing agreement, major changes were made to KDVR and KWGN's evening news programming that reduced overlap between the stations. KWGN discontinued its 5:30 p.m. newscast on January 12, 2009, while KDVR expanded its early evening newscast to an hour at 5:00 p.m.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2009/01/05/daily19.html|title=Fox31 boosts early-evening news to an hour|work=Denver Business Journal|date=January 6, 2009}}</ref> Two months later, on March 30, KWGN moved its prime time newscast two hours earlier to 7:00 p.m., making the unusual move of airing The CW programming from 8–10 p.m. with the network's blessing.<ref>{{Cite news|first=Joanne|last=Ostrow|url=http://www.denverpost.com/entertainment/ci_11940495|title=Channel 2 shuffles prime time|work=The Denver Post|date=March 18, 2009}}</ref>
News expansions continued in the 2010s. On June 28, 2010, KDVR added a half-hour 10:00 p.m. newscast titled ''Fox 31 Nightside'', which focused on hard-hitting [[enterprise journalism|enterprise]] stories.<ref>{{Cite news|first=Joanne|last=Ostrow|url=http://www.denverpost.com/entertainment/ci_15168184|title=Fox31 to launch 10 p.m. news|work=The Denver Post|date=May 26, 2010}}</ref> In 2016, KDVR began airing an 11 a.m. news hour and a 4:30 a.m. extension to ''Good Day Colorado''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2016/03/18/fox31-entering-11-a-m-denver-news-fray.html|title=Fox31 entering 11 a.m. Denver TV news fray|first=Ben|last=Miller|work=Denver Business Journal|date=March 18, 2016}}</ref> During this time, some of the station's original news personalities departed. Weaver left in 2012. Martino, who worked at [[KHOW]] radio concurrent with his time at KDVR, was dismissed in 2011 after he announced he was filing for [[Chapter 7, Title 11, United States Code|Chapter 7]] bankruptcy; he sued the station alleging discrimination, a matter which was settled in 2014.<ref>{{cite news|title=Tom Martino quietly pressing lawsuit against Fox31-TV|url=http://blogs.denverpost.com/thebalancesheet/2014/01/14/tom-martino-quietly-pressing-lawsuit-against-fox-31-tv/11438/|first=David|last=Migoya|newspaper=The Denver Post|date=January 14, 2014|access-date=August 11, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Troubleshooter Tom Martino settles Fox 31 discrimination claim|url=http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_25889024/troubleshooter-tom-martino-settles-fox-31-discrimination-claim|first=David|last=Migoya|newspaper=[[The Denver Post]]|date=June 3, 2014|access-date=August 11, 2014}}</ref>
On June 1, 2014, KDVR debuted ''#COpolitics – From the Source'', an unconventionally formatted [[Sunday morning talk shows|Sunday morning political discussion program]] that is taped at The Source food market in Denver.<ref>{{cite news|title=KDVR Launches Sunday Political Show|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/kdvr-launches-sunday-political-show_b121988|first=Merrill|last=Knox|work=[[Mediabistro.com|TVSpy]]|date=June 2, 2014|access-date=August 11, 2014}}</ref>

===Other programming===
From 2009 to 2010, KDVR aired ''Everyday with Libby and Natalie'', a daytime lifestyle program hosted by Libby Weaver and reported Natalie Tysdal. The program performed poorly in the ratings and was shifted to KWGN-TV in 2010.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Bolder?
