History as an Independent
KCIK-TV signed on air in 1979 and was originally a not-for-profit Christian religious station that served El Paso market. It was the first commercial television to air in El Paso after the launch of KVIA that went on air 23 years ago. International Christian Foundation was the original owner and founder of the service.

KCIK signed affiliation agreement with Fox on Oct 6, 1986 and became a charter Fox affiliate. Under the new ownership of Jack Mulderrig Sr, the channel shifted to a new studio building at 6004 North Mesa Street and changed its callsign to KFOX-TV.
