KVVU-TV Fox 5

What KVVU-TV Fox 5 does

KVVU-TV Fox 5 is a Fox-affiliated local broadcast television station licensed to and operating from studios at 25 TV 5 Drive, Henderson, Nevada, serving the Las Vegas metropolitan area, Southern Nevada, and Clark County. The station has been owned by Gray Television (NYSE: GTN) since 1996 and operates as part of Gray's Gray Local Media division. Its core product is local news and information content delivered via over-the-air ATSC broadcast (including NextGen TV/ATSC 3.0), cable and satellite carriage on Cox, DirecTV, Dish, and AT&T TV, authenticated streaming through Gray TV Everywhere, the fox5vegas.com website, and dedicated iOS/Android mobile apps. Anchor content franchises include First Alert Weather, First Alert Traffic, sports coverage of the Raiders, Golden Knights, Aces, Aviators, and UNLV, plus investigative journalism through InvestigateTV and Spanish-language programming via Vegas Hoy.

Revenue is generated from three streams: television advertising on local broadcast inventory (commercials during newscasts and sports), digital advertising sold through Gray Digital Media Las Vegas across fox5vegas.com and apps, and retransmission consent fees paid by cable and satellite MVPDs. Pricing is quote-based and varies by time slot, program, and audience reach; no consumer-facing subscription or product revenue exists. Customer segments are two-sided: Las Vegas-area viewers (non-paying consumers of content) and advertisers — primarily local casinos, resorts, restaurants, and entertainment venues supplemented by national brands seeking DMA-level reach. Sub-brands such as SSSEN, 5DRV.tv, PowerNation, Watching Your Wallet, and community programs (Surprise Squad, Drive for Good, Take 5 to Care) extend the content surface but do not constitute distinct revenue lines.
