TCT station in Fresno, California

On January 16, 1995, KAIL became a charter affiliate of the United Paramount Network (UPN); the station maintained a schedule resembling an independent during its first three years with the network as UPN would not carry a week's worth of programming until 1999 (even at that point, the network had no weekend prime time programming). During the 1990s, KAIL added stronger programs to its schedule, including recent off network sitcoms, talk, reality and court shows. The station began gradually phasing out cartoons from its schedule around 2000 and dropped them from the weekday lineup altogether in August 2003, when UPN discontinued its children's program block, Disney's One Too. On February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced the launch of a new "sixth" network called MyNetworkTV, which would be operated by Fox Television Stations and its syndication division Twentieth Television. MyNetworkTV was created to compete against another upstart network that would launch at the same time that September, The CW (an amalgamated network that originally consisted primarily of UPN and The WB's higher rated programs) as well as to give UPN and WB stations that were not mentioned as becoming CW affiliates another option besides converting to independent stations. KFRE TV (channel 59, no relation to what is now KFSN TV) took the CW affiliation; KAIL, meanwhile, signed an affiliation agreement to become MyNetworkTV's Fresno affiliate. The station became a charter affiliate of the network when it launched on September 5, 2006. In 2008, the station acquired the broadcast rights to Fresno State Bulldogs collegiate sporting events, assuming the rights from CW affiliate KFRE TV. KAIL TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 53, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal broadcasts on its pre transition VHF channel 7. On April 1, 2008, KAIL began carrying the classic television service, the Retro Television Network, on digital subchannel 7.2. The subchannel eventually assumed local broadcast rights to San Francisco Giants Major League Baseball games, which moved to the station from KFRE TV. On January 14, 2013, KAIL ended its run as an affiliate of RTV, switching its 7.2 subchannel over to the similarly styled Cozi TV. In 2017, Light TV launched on 7.2, with Cozi moving to a newly created 7.4 subchannel. In February 2010, KAIL became the first television station in the Fresno market to begin offering Mobile DTV broadcasts, simulcasting the station's main channel and digital subchannel 7.2. On April 15, 2014, KAIL's longtime owners Trans America Broadcasting changed its name to Tel America North Corporation, as part of a restructuring of the company's operations, which coincided with the sale of its sole radio outlet KTYM in Los Angeles to El Sembrador Ministries; as a result, KAIL until then was Tel America's sole media property. On April 6, 2015, Tel America agreed to sell KAIL to Aperio Communications for $3 million.

On August 7, 2020, Aperio Communications announced that it would sell KAIL to Marion, Illinois–based Tri State Christian Television for an undisclosed price. The sale would exclude sales and programming contracts as well as the MyNetworkTV affiliation. The sale was completed on September 30. On September 28, 2020, KAIL became a TCT owned and operated station, running only Christian programming from the TCT satellite channel, making it the second religious station in the Fresno area (alongside KNXT, however, that station was shut down a few months before the sale). The KAIL intellectual unit and MyNetworkTV affiliation moved to KMSG LD.

On July 31, 2006, NBC affiliate KSEE (channel 24) began producing a half hour primetime newscast that air Monday through Fridays at 10 p. m. through a news share agreement; the program was discontinued on September 11, 2009, having been canceled due to low ratings. The station would not air local news programming again until January 7, 2013, when ABC owned and operated station KFSN TV began to produce another weeknight only 10 p. m. newscast for KAIL. Titled ABC 30 Action News Live at 10:00, the program competed with the longer established in house 10 p. m. newscast on Fox affiliate KMPH TV (channel 26), which comparatively runs for one hour and airs seven nights a week. With the news share agreement with KAIL, KFSN became the fourth ABC owned station to produce a newscast for an unrelated station in the same market (WTVD in Raleigh, North Carolina, and WPVI TV in Philadelphia produce 10 p. m. newscasts for CW affiliate WLFL and MyNetworkTV affiliate WPHL TV in their respective markets, while KGO TV in San Francisco produces a 9 p. m. newscast for independent station KOFY TV; they were later joined by KABC TV in Los Angeles, which produced newscasts at 7 and 7:30 p. m. for independent station KDOC TV). KFSN ended the 10 p. m. newscast in July 2014. In September 2018, KFSN resumed producing a newscast for KAIL; this time airing weeknights for 60 minutes at 8 p. m.
