KTVK became independent on January 9, 1995, after the affiliation swap which saw the ABC affiliation move to then-Fox affiliate KNXV-TV, (which aired ABC programs on a secondary basis, due to channel 3 and ABC parting ways) with Fox moving to then-CBS affiliate KSAZ-TV, which then sent the CBS affiliation back to then-independent (formerly CBS affiliate back then) station KPHO-TV. The station also aired WB programs on a secondary basis until KASW signed on later that same year.
