The station continued to preempt or delay network programming as an ABC affiliate: it preempted the half-hour soaps airing in the 12:30 p.m. timeslot ("Loving", followed by "The City" and later "Port Charles"), at some point running it during the overnight hours. During the station's first six months as an ABC affiliate, KXTV preempted an hour of ABC's Saturday morning cartoons; it began airing the block in its entirety in the fall of 1995. When Bill Maher's talk show "Politically Incorrect" moved from Comedy Central to ABC in January 1997, KXTV delayed the program to 12:35 a.m. in favor of carrying the then-fledgling "Access Hollywood" in the 12:05 a.m. time slot. KXTV aired "All My Children" at 3 p.m. in its early years with ABC (replacing "The Young and the Restless" in that timeslot with the switch), before moving it to the network's recommended noon slot after the midday newscast moved back one hour from noon to 11 a.m. KXTV has carried the entire ABC schedule since the network gave back the weekday 12:30 p.m. (PT) timeslot back to its affiliates in 2003.
