[edit] Newscast
KXRM has a newscast which started in 2001. The newscast was produced by KKTV for six years and since October 2, 2006 it produced its own newscast. The station also recently added a 3-hour morning show. While other stations pitch to a national morning show at 7am, FOX21 Morning News airs completely locally from 6am - 9am.
FOX21 News at 9 airs weekdays from 9-10:05 pm and weekends from 9-9:30 pm. FOX21 Morning News airs weekdays from 6-9 am. Fox 21's Idea for 9PM NEWS IN SOUTHEREN COLORADO has been copied by other stations int the market like KKTV since 2006 though the produced Fox21's for a short time and KOAA-TV since July 2007 has also both are half the time as Fox21's only 30minutes not one hour.
It also has construction permits for three booster stations: KXRM1 in Cañon City, Colorado, KXRM2 in Cripple Creek, Colorado, and KXRM3 in Victor, Colorado.
