KFQX (channel 4) is a television station in Grand Junction, Colorado, United States, serving as the Fox affiliate for Colorado's Western Slope region. Owned by Mission Broadcasting, the station is managed by Nexstar Media Group, owner of CBS affiliate KREX-TV (channel 5) and MyNetworkTV affiliate KGJT-CD (channel 27), under a shared services agreement (SSA). The three stations share studios on Hillcrest Avenue in downtown Grand Junction, while KFQX's transmitter is located at the Black Ridge Electronics Site at the Colorado National Monument west of the city.
KREX obtained the rights to provide Fox programming in Grand Junction in 1994 and began airing the network on a low-power station. KFQX went on the air in 2000 and has been co-managed with KREX for its entire history. KFQX has largely been owned by sidecars to other companies; when Hoak Media owned KREX, Parker Broadcasting owned KFQX, and Mission acquired the station in a deal related to the Nexstar purchase. The station airs Grand Junction newscasts from KREX at 6:30 and 9 p.m.[2] and morning and late evening news from Nexstar-owned KDVR in Denver.
