Under the agreement, KTVI will move to KPLR's offices. The combined newsroom will produce staggered news for nine hours a day.
KTVI General Manager Spencer Koch says viewers want local news programs throughout the day, not just morning, early evening and at night.
The parent companies also announced a local marketing agreement for their TV stations in Denver, Fox affiliate KDVR and CW affiliate KWGN. Both stations will operate out of the KDVR studios.
