[edit] News Operations
From 2000 until 2005, KKPX along with many PAX stations signed an agreement with NBC and aired a re-broadcast of then ABC/WB affiliate KNTV, now an NBC O&O at 7 PM and 11:30 PM. The newscasts were originally titled, "NewsChannel 11 on PAX", when KNTV became NBC in January 2002, the newscasts changed to "NBC 3/11 News on PAX" This distinction ended in 2005 after NBC Universal decided to part ways with PAX/i.
