KSVT-LD is the low-powered primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV television station for Southern Idaho's Magic Valley that is licensed to Twin Falls. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 14 (or virtual channel 43.1 via PSIP) 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 8 and in high definition on digital channel 475. Owned by Gray Television, KSVT is sister to CBS/CW affiliate KMVT and the two outlets share studios on Blue Lakes Boulevard North/U.S. 93 in Twin Falls.

KSVT signed-on in 1997 as an independent station, K43FK. It became KTWT-LP in 2000. The station was a UPN affiliate from late 2004 (picking up the UPN affiliation from KIDA) until September 2006 when UPN merged with The WB (which was seen on KWTE, via The WB 100+) to form The CW; that network was seen on KTWT (via The CW Plus) until 2012, when it switched to MyNetworkTV following the closure of sister station KTID-LP. CW programming remains available through the second digital subchannel of KMVT, which previously simulcast with KTWT. It had a construction permit for a low-power digital station on Channel 14 although LPTV stations are not required to broadcast digital signals.
