KTVB

KTVB is a television station in Boise, Idaho, United States, affiliated with NBC and owned by the Tegna subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group. The station's studios are located on West Fairview Avenue in Boise, and its transmitter is located on Deer Point in unincorporated Boise County. It is rebroadcast by KTFT-LD in Twin Falls, a low-power semi-satellite that inserts local advertising for the Magic Valley area into KTVB's schedule. KTFT-LD maintains a local sales office on Nielsen Point Place in Twin Falls, while its transmitter is located on Flat Top Butte near Jerome, Idaho. The two stations are branded as the "KTVB Media Group". Channel 7 is the oldest continuously operating station in Idaho. It debuted on July 12, 1953, as KIDO-TV, the state's second television station to begin operations and the first to be fully licensed. Though KFXD-TV in Nampa beat KIDO-TV to the air by a month, KIDO-TV was by far the more organized operation with network and local programming, neither of which KFXD-TV featured in its brief two-month tenure on air.
