KMVT is the CBS-affiliated television station for Southern Idaho's Magic Valley that is licensed to Twin Falls. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 11 from a transmitter on Flat Top Butte in unincorporated Jerome County east of Jerome and U.S. 93. The station can also be seen on Cable ONE channel 12 and in high definition on digital channel 460. Owned by Gray Television, KMVT is sister to low-powered primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV affiliate KSVT-LD. The two outlets share studios on Blue Lakes Boulevard North/U.S. 93 in Twin Falls.
