KDFW FOX 4 News Dallas TX Live TV Stream

KDFW commenced transmitting a digital television signal on UHF channel 35 on September 10, 1998. The station shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 4, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station’s digital signal continued on its transition period UHF channel 35, using PSIP to display KDFW’s virtual channel as 4 on digital television receivers. Through its participation as a SAFER Act “nightlight” broadcaster, KDFW kept its analog signal on the air until July 12 to inform viewers of the digital television transition through a loop of public service announcements from the National Association of Broadcasters. As of September 2018, KDFW presently broadcasts 55 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 9½ hours on weekdays, four hours on Saturdays and 3½ hours on Sundays); in regards to the number of hours dedicated to news programming, it is the largest local newscast output among broadcast television stations in both the Dallas–Fort Worth market and the state of Texas. In addition, KDFW produces the half-hour sports highlight program Fox 4 Sports Sunday, which airs Sundays after the 9:00 p.m. newscast. The station’s Sunday 5:00 p.m. newscast is subject to anticipation and the Saturday 6:00 p.m. newscast is subject to delay due to overruns by Fox Sports telecasts.
