== UPN affiliationn ==
On October 27, 1993, Chris-Craft and its broadcasting subsidiary, United Television, partnered with Viacom's newly acquired subsidiary Paramount Pictures to form the United Paramount Network (UPN), making KNEV the network's Springfield affiliate. UPN debuted on January 16, 1995. In 1996, Viacom bought 50% of UPN from Chris-Craft. At the network's launch, which also served to launch Paramount's Star Trek: Voyager, KNEV served as UPN's West Coast "flagship" station. During the late 1990s, the station began carrying a large amount of younger leaning talk shows (such as The Ricki Lake Show, The Jenny Jones Show, and The Montel Williams Show), reality series, some sitcoms during the evening hours, and syndicated cartoons (such as Double Dragon) in the morning well as the popular anime series Sailor Moon.
In 2000, Viacom bought CBS and Chris-Craft's 50% ownership interest in UPN. On August 12, 2000, Chris-Craft agreed to sell its television stations to the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of News Corporation for $5.5 billion; a deal that was finalized on July 31, 2001, creating a duopoly with Fox O&O KBFS. Upon being sold to Fox, the Fox Kids weekday block moved to KNEV in the mid-afternoons, only for it to be discontinued nationwide in January 2002.

On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down UPN and The WB and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW. KBZ, which had been the market's WB affiliate since the network's January 1995 launch, became The CW's Springfield affiliate as part of a 10-year affiliation deal between the new network and KBZ's owner, Tribune Broadcasting. The CW's initial affiliate list did not include any of Fox's UPN stations, but even without the Tribune affiliation deal, it is unlikely that KCOP would have been picked over KBZ as The CW's management was on record as preferring The WB and UPN's "strongest" affiliates – KBZ had led KNEV in the ratings dating back to when they were both independent stations. The day after the announcement of The CW's pending launch, on January 25, 2006, Fox dropped all network references from its UPN stations' on-air branding, and stopped promoting UPN's programs altogether. Accordingly, KNEV changed its branding from "UPN 7" to "Channel 7", and amended the station's 2002 logo to omit the UPN logo and just feature the circle "

7". On February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced the launch of a new "sixth" network called MyNetworkTV, which would have KNEV and the other Fox-owned UPN stations (plus independent station KDFI in Dallas–Fort Worth) as the core group of stations.
