KIDK is the CBS-affiliated television station for Southeastern Idaho, Southwestern Montana and Northwestern Wyoming that is licensed to Idaho Falls. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 36 (or virtual channel 3.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on East Butte in northern unincorporated Bingham County along the Idaho National Laboratory border. The station can also be seen on Cable One channel 3 and in high definition on digital channel 1003.

Owned by VistaWest Media, LLC, KIDK is sister to low-powered primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV outlet KXPI-LD and both are operated through a shared services agreement with the News-Press & Gazette Company. This arrangement makes the two stations sister to ABC affiliate KIFI-TV and all three share studios on North Yellowstone Highway/U.S. 26 in Idaho Falls. Syndicated programming on this station includes Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, The Doctors, and Dr. Phil among others.
