KFYF was a television station located in Fairbanks, Alaska, United States. The station was owned by Tanana Valley Television Company. KFYF's transmitter was located at north of Fairbanks and its programming was also seen on low-power digital translator KFXF-LD on UHF channel 22. Currently, KFYF is off-the-air and its low-powered counterpart is the only signal still on-the-air in Fairbanks with Fox on its primary feed, which would, at first, seem to conclude full-market over-the-air high definition coverage of this station; however, this issue has since been resolved, as KFXF-LD is now being simulcast over KTVF's second digital subchannel (digital subchannel 11.2 for those with digital converters), thereby restoring full-market over-the-air high definition coverage of the low-powered Fox-affiliated KFXF-LD.
Channel 7 in Fairbanks was originally assigned to KSEV in 1984; it was not known whether it would be an independent or network station. KSEV never signed on, and it wouldn't be until 1992, when founder/owner Bill St. Pierre and a group of investors formed Tanana Valley Television, that channel 7 would begin broadcasting. The group put a low-power station, K07UU, on the air April 20, 1992 as the area's first commercial station (and fifth in general after KJNP-TV in 1981) since 1955, when KTVF and KATN started; until then, they had been the only two major network stations. The station upgraded to a full-power license with the call letters KFXF on February 27, 1995. It was the only Fairbanks television station that had never changed its affiliation.
