In the summer of 1978, as NBC was floundering in third place in the Nielsen ratings, KVAL started airing five hours of CBS programming each week. During the next four years, the station gradually offered more programs from CBS. NBC affiliated with newly signed-on KMTR in 1982, and KVAL formally switched its affiliation to CBS.

Retlaw Enterprises (a company owned by relatives of Walt Disney) purchased channel 13 in 1996 and sold its entire broadcasting division to Seattle-based Fisher Communications (owner of Portland-licensed ABC affiliate KATU) in 1998.
