 Although this switch had already happened unofficially, it officially took place on August 13, 2012, effectively splitting XHRIO and KFXV into two separate and distinct channels, making KFXV 67.1 the official Fox affiliate for the Rio Grande Valley.This also marks the first time in the network's history that the valley's Fox station is of American origin, with an American callsign.Despite moving the Fox affiliation from channel 2 to 67, the station was not rebranded from its "Fox 2" moniker, making KFXV's primary branding match its location on satellite systems rather than its virtual channel.
