KFQX is a television station in Grand Junction, Colorado, broadcasting digitally on UHF channel 15 as an affiliate of Fox. Founded February 10, 1993, the station is owned by Parker Broadcasting of Colorado, LLC.
KFQX is operated under a LMA by Hoak Media Corporation, which also owns co-located KREX-TV.
For its first few years, KFQX offered delayed rebroadcasts of KREX's newscasts. In 2005, the station began simulcasting news programming from former Fox owned-and-operated KDVR in Denver. Today, the simulcasts include a four-hour morning newscast and a nightly primetime news hour from 9 to 10pm.
The KFQX signal is relayed to other parts of Western and Northwestern Colorado via five analog and two digital translator stations, including KXHD-LP Channel 36 in Montrose.
A fire knocked KREX, KFQX and KGJT-LP off the air on Sunday January 20, 2008 at approximately 8:45 AM local time. The station's building and 50 years worth of archives are a total loss.
