KENS is also one of the few stations in the United States that still maintains over-the-air broadcast rights to a major sports franchise: the station airs select NBA games featuring the San Antonio Spurs that are not carried by Fox Sports Southwest. As of the 2020-21 NBA season, the Spurs are the only team for which there is over-the-air coverage of non-nationally televised games, and one of only five across the NBA, Major League Baseball and the NHL that offer games on an over-the-air station; the others are all in Major League Baseball — WPIX in New York City carries select Mets and Yankees games, WCAU in Philadelphia carries select Phillies games and KNTV in the San Francisco Bay Area carries select Giants games.
