Understanding Fox News in Denver
When people refer to "Fox News Denver," they are generally referring to KDVR (channel 31), the local Fox network affiliate that serves the Denver metropolitan area and surrounding regions. This is distinct from the national Fox News Channel, which is a cable news channel. KDVR provides local news, weather, and sports, alongside programming from the Fox broadcast network.
