Over the second half of 1994, ABC programming migrated from KTVK to KNXV in stages, as the outgoing affiliate shed a variety of its soon-to-be former network's offerings. When KTVK launched a local morning newscast at the end of August, "Good Morning America" was the first ABC program to move to KNXV. KNXV then picked up "Mike and Maty", "World News Now", "Nightline" and ABC's Saturday morning cartoons when the station officially dropped its Fox affiliation on December 15. The rest of ABC's programming moved to KNXV on January 9, 1995. KNXV kept about one-third of its syndicated programming, with the rest moving to other area stations.
