History [link]

The station went on the air on June 1, 1955 using the call letters of its sister radio station, KLIX. It has been a CBS affiliate since sign-on; however, in its early years the station carried programs from ABC and NBC. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.[2]

In 1957, Ogden, Utah businessman Abe Glasmann purchased the KLIX radio and TV stations and KUTV in Salt Lake City. Glasmann sold the radio station, which retained the call letters KLIX. He rechristened the TV station KMVT. "MVT" stood for "Magic Valley Television," reflecting the area's nickname of "Magic Valley."

In 1965 KMVT became the first television station in Idaho to broadcast local programs in color.

Western Broadcasting Company of Missoula, Montana, which operated KMSO-TV (now KECI) in Missoula, acquired KMVT in 1970. In 1984, control of the station was transferred to the Chapman S. Root 1982 Living Trust. The Catamount Broadcast Group acquired the station in 1998 and sold it to the Neuhoff family in 2004. Today KMVT Broadcasting Inc. is a subsidiary of the Neuhoff family limited partnership.

KMVT became the first station to air Apple Computers' famous "1984" commercial on December 31st, 1983, before midnight, to ensure the ad would qualify for the year 1984's advertising awards, which only counted ads aired in 1983.

In September 2006, KMVT began carrying The CW network on its DT2 subchannel, which is also seen terrestrially on KTWT-LP channel 43.

KMVT's broadcasts are digital-only, effective (as originally scheduled) on February 17, 2009.[3]

Translators [link]

KVMT is rebroadcast on seven translators.[4][5] Neuhoff Family Limited Partnership and KVMT-TV owns and operates all translators except for K31IF-D of which is owned and operated by Hagerman Translator District instead of KVMT-TV and Neuhoff Family Limited Partnership.

KVMT-TV and Neuhoff Family Limited Partnership had a construction permit for a digital translator on digital channel 24 in Hagerman, Idaho. The construction permit on such a digital translator seems to be defunct.
