In May 2009, KQEG's programming was revamped as the station began an affiliation with the Ion television network; this included the discontinuation of the 7 p.m. airing of WXOW's 6 p.m. newscast.
During the early 2000s, KSNB and KTVG would pick up a secondary affiliation with Pax (which was renamed i: Independent Television on July 1, 2005 and Ion Television on January 29, 2007); the Ion affiliation was later discontinued.
In 1997, Paxson decided to sell KXLT to raise money to launch the Pax network (today's Ion Television).
KXPX's call sign derives from its former affiliation with Pax TV (now Ion Television), which commenced upon the network's launch in 1998.
However, officials later changed their mind, and on August 11, moved the pending affiliation to a secondary arrangement through Ion Television owned-and-operated affiliate WEPX-TV (and its full-time satellite, WPXU-TV).
In the fall of 2013, the station's 6 p.m. newscast began to be simulcasted on a half-hour delay on Louisville's Ion Television station, WBNA (Channel 21); that station also airs the midday newscast of fellow NBC affiliate WAVE in Louisville.
While it searched for its own affiliation, WCWF finally began broadcasting September 11, 2007 as a repeater of Ion Television affiliate WWBI-LP, the owners of which held a stake in the station.
