KFXO-CD (channel 39) is a low-power, Class A television station in Bend, Oregon, United States, serving Central Oregon as an affiliate of Fox and Telemundo. It is owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company (NPG) alongside NBC affiliate KTVZ (channel 21). The two stations share studios on Northwest O. B. Riley Road in Bend; KFXO-CD's transmitter is located on Awbrey Butte west of US 97. KFXO-CD is also broadcast as a subchannel of KTVZ (21.3) and by KQRE-LD (channel 20, Telemundo on 20.1 and Fox on 20.2) from Grizzly Mountain.

Portland's Fox affiliate of the time, KPDX, began rebroadcasting its signal into Central Oregon in 1991. It had four translators in the region by September 1996, when KFXO opened as a separate service with local commercials and some syndicated programming specific to the Bend market. In 2006, the station started a local news department, only for owner Meredith Corporation to sell it to NPG, which terminated the news department after more than a year and consolidated operations into KTVZ. The station offers a 10 p.m. local newscast produced by KTVZ.
