KSAW-LD is the low-powered ABC-affiliated television station for the Magic Valley in the U.S. state of Idaho. Licensed to Twin Falls, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 15 (virtual channel 6) from a transmitter east of Jerome. The station can also be seen on Cable One channel 3 and in high definition on digital channel 455. Owned by the E. W. Scripps Company, KSAW has an advertising sales office in the Blue Lakes Office Park on Falls Avenue in Twin Falls (housed in the same building as the local offices of NBC outlet KTFT-LD).
Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, KSAW is actually considered a semi-satellite of KIVI-TV in Boise. It clears all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent, though with some programming carried on KSAW at different times. There are also some programs that only air on KSAW while some only air on KIVI. KSAW also airs separate legal identifications and commercial inserts that target the Magic Valley. Master control and most other internal operations originate from KIVI's studios on East Chisholm Drive in Nampa (along I-84/U.S. 30/SH-55).
