Future MyTV affiliate
On July 10, 2017, it was announced that MyTV would expand from two hours a night to three hours a night, which would push affiliates that also have Ion Television affiliates to cut Ion's time further. Independence Broadcasting (which owned dual affiliate KJMJ) made the announcement that they would be dropping MyTV from their Ion Television affiliates and become full-time Ion Television affiliates. MyTV, Inc. and Independence made a deal to give the network time to find new affiliates for MyTV in the markets that would be affected by Independence's decision, and as a result, it was decided that KRUW would be the new MyTV affiliate on Sept. 18, 2017, and KJMJ would be a full-time Ion Television affiliate.
