After just a year, the telenovela format faded into the mists. It should be noted that there were also early promises to program imported or adapted programming from Sky in the UK and Creator/{{Fox News|Channel}} to air alongside the telenovelas, but those were thrown aside in favor of the latter. Programming like ''IFL Battleground'' (a failed attempt to turn UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts into a team sport that eventually got eaten up by UFC), the Ujena Bikini Jam, Hooters pageants, the Taurus World Stunt Awards, a revival of ''Paradise Hotel'' and ''World's Funniest Moments'' filled the void that was left by the telenovelas.

Nevertheless, in September 2015, the network's second flagship, KCOP in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles, moved the network's programming to late night. This was probably done to kill any chance it could steal ratings from sister station KTTV and Fox itself, instead airs repeats of entertainment newsmagazines in primetime; it would eventually be reversed when the ratings were test-pattern low. It has since met the same fate in Chicago, when Chicago's WPWR began to carry the CW in September 2016, taking over for WGN, pushing [=MyNetworkTV=] to late night; it was restored to primetime in September 2019 with the move of The CW to WCIU, sandwiched between repeats of ''Series/ChicagoPD'' (and creating an absurd situation where '''four episodes''' of that series air in a row Tuesday nights, from syndication and the network; ''Chicago Fire" episodes air on both [=MyNetworkTV=] and Ion at the same time on Wednesday nights).

At the start of 2019 in Cleveland, the network (which had already been bumped out of primetime after The CW moved to WUAB in the summer of 2018) was moved from late night on WUAB to complete OldShame status on sister station WOIO's [=MeTV=] subchannel in the same timeslot, without as much as a programming note mentioning the move (this was also done in Fairbanks, Alaska, where that station is owned by the same company, and in 2020, the company's Anchorage station shifted the entire schedule to their fourth subchannel upon earning the CBS affiliation for their main channel). That same year in Atlanta, network affiliate WATL shafted its programming schedule to ''midnights'' by the end of the year in favor of a three-hour-long primetime newscast produced by NBC affiliate and parent station WXIA, out of a desire to better compete with the 9 PM newscast on independent station WPCH (itself produced by CBS affiliate and parent station WGCL [now WANF]) and Fox O&O WAGA's coveted 10 PM newscast. In a couple of markets, it airs in late night on Creator/TheCWPlus, merely acting as spackle over the network's infomercial time.
