KENS clears the entire CBS network schedule. The station splits the ''[[CBS WKND]]'' lineup into two blocks that bookend its Saturday morning newscast (with the first hour airing before the program and the final two airing after it) and splits ''[[Face the Nation]]'' into two half-hour blocks (as such, it is one of several CBS affiliates that carry the program on both Sunday mornings and overnights in such a manner). KENS acquired the local syndication rights to ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' and ''[[Wheel of Fortune (American game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'' in September 1999 from KMOL-TV (now WOAI-TV).
