It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 10 (or virtual channel 9.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter at the Bogus Basin ski area summit in unincorporated Boise County. The station can also be seen on Cable One channel 9 and in high definition on digital channel 485. Owned by Raycom Media and operated by the E. W.

Syndicated programming on this station includes Two and a Half Men, Maury, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and The Big Bang Theory among others.

The station signed-on March 8, 1991 as KTMW and aired an analog signal on VHF channel 9. It was originally locally-owned by William Schuyler and affiliated with the Home Shopping Network (HSN).
