On January 28, 2006, KPTM began producing "The KXVO 15 10 O'Clock News", a weeknight 10 p.m. newscast for KXVO. In April of the same year, former MTV personality and reality show host Brian McFayden was hired to anchor the program, though he left the show to explore other options in his career amid rumors that he was becoming more and more difficult to work with. In any case, McFayden's hiring was unable to save the newscast's ratings, which had been low from the start. In late-August 2006, comedian and Second City Training Center alumnus Matt Geiler was named the new anchor of the broadcast. By this time, the show had become some sort of sketch comedy program with news content being handled by KPTM staff. Throughout its run, "The KXVO 15 10 O'Clock News" never registered a single ratings point and was cancelled in 2007.
