Local Fox stations with news outside morning/primetime?

A lot of local Fox stations just air the news at 10 (or 9 central) and in the morning. Any stations air outside those hours? I know Fox 4 in KC runs a noon newscast, a 5 and 6 newscast, and a 10 p.m. newscast after its 9 p.m. newscast (for 2 hours straight.) Any other Fox stations do this?
 
KTTV in L.A. has a morning block from 4:30 to 10:30 AM (which includes Good Day L.A. from 7:00 to 10:00), an hourlong noon newscast, an hourlong 5:00 PM newscast, and an hourlong 10:00 PM newscast.
 
There are many Fox affiliated stations in this category, but mostly in larger markets.

KCPQ (Fox Q-13 Seattle) runs local news from 4:30am to 10am, then 4-6pm, and 10-11:30pm. This is more hours of local tv news than the traditional network affiliates (KOMO-ABC, KING-NBC, and KIRO-CBS) in the Seattle market.
 
KMSP FOX 9 Minneapolis (O&O)
M-F
4:30-10am
5-6:30p
9-10:35p

weekends they have a 2 hour in morning then 5-6p and 9-10p
 
here's how the news schedule is for DFW TV News programs:
all the DFW channels have their morning news start at 4:30 AM but only Fox 4 has their ending at 9 AM while NBC 5, WFAA ch. 8 and CBS 11 ends it at 7 AM so they can start the network morning news programs. CW 33 has their "Morning Dose" newscast start at 5 AM and end at 8 AM.

WFAA has Good Morning Texas at 9 AM

NBC 5 and CBS 11 has 11 AM newscast, NBC 5's is a hour long while CBS 11's is only a half hour.

WFAA and Fox 4 has Noon News, WFAA has a hour long newscast while Fox 4's Noon news is a half hour newcast.

CBS 11, WFAA and NBC 5 have 90 minutes of news in the late afternoon/early evening starting at 4 PM and ending at 5:30 PM, when they go to their respected network's nightly evening world newscast. meanwhile Fox 4 has their own 90 minute Newscast starting at 5 PM and ending at 6:30 PM, which Fox 4 is the only one with a 5:30 traditional newscast that is more local.

CW 33 has their own 5 PM newscast called "NewsFix" , but it's not a very traditional news cast and it airs for 1 hour at this time slot of 5 PM.

while the final 30 minutes of Fox 4's 90 minute is still on, CBS 11, NBC 5 and WFAA all have a 30 minute newscast at 6 PM.

Fox 4 has another 90 minutes of news airing between 9 to 10:30 PM, and CW 33 has another full hour of "NewsFix" that airs at the 9 PM time slot too at the same time.

and CBS 11, NBC 5 and WFAA all have a 35 minute long newscast to end the night at 10 PM.
 
WZTV, FOX17 in Nashville, TN has a 5:30-6:00 PM CDT local newscast. WZTV Also does 100% local and live newscasts from 4:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM - 10:30 PM.
 
Since DFW has been covered, I'll add San Antonio's Fox affiliate KABB, which airs a morning newscast from 5am-9am followed by "Daytime at 9" (a lifestyle newscast). No other newscasts follow throughout the day until a 9pm newscast later that night (mostly due to sister NBC station WOAI which prevents KABB doing a noon, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, and 10pm newscast). In addition, the other sister station KMYS, a CW station, had aired KABB's 9pm newscast during the World Series, Super Bowl, etc. but I don't know if they do that anymore.

I do know that some Fox affiliates that air a 4pm newscast (i.e KPTV, etc.) Any others?
 
WGHP Greensboro NC has been doing 6:00 PM news since it was an ABC station. It has had a 5;00 newscast for years and now even has news before that.
 
KTVU 2 - Oakland/San Francisco has been a Fox affiliate since Fox began in the 80s, then a Fox O&O the last couple of years. They've been running news outside of morning and prime-time for years, and are now a duopoly, so they time-shift the news to what they are calling "KTVU Plus" - really the old KICU TV36. But KTVU has always been a leader in news - even before the Fox affiliation, their "10 O'clock News" was one of the most popular news broadcasts in the Bay Area.
 
Fox17 has News M-F 4:30AM-9AM then it's a lifestyle show Morning Mix at 9AM then have Fox17 Midday at 11AM, then has 3 hours of local news 4PM-7PM, 90 minute 10PMto11:30PM. Sat/Sun 5AM-9AM 10PM-11:30PM but late for sports on Saturdays. Fox17 has the slogan before every Newscast the station with most local news Fox17.
 
WSVN 7 (Miami) has a lot of local news. 10 1/2 hours a day, 4 1/2 of which count in the category of "outside morning and primetime." They went "all-in" with news when NBC yanked their affiliation back in 1988.

(7:30-8:00 PM is the locally produced Entertainment show, Deco Drive)
