Profile CDBS |
KTRV-TV is the Ion Television affiliate for Idaho's Treasure Valley licensed to Nampa. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 13 (or virtual channel 12.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter at the Bogus Basin ski area summit in unincorporated Boise County. Owned by Block Communications, KTRV has studios in Nampa at the corner of 6th Street North and Northside/Nampa Boulevard.
The station signed-on October 18, 1981, airing an analog signal on VHF channel 12. It was the first independent station in Idaho, and featured programming offerings consisting primarily of syndicated talk and children shows in the day and movies in the evenings. It was originally owned by Peyton Broadcasting. Peyton sold the station to current owner Block Communications in 1985. The station became a Fox affiliate when the network launched in 1986. It added the -TV suffix to its calls on July 10, 2006. On February 6, 2009, KTRV added MyNetworkTV and This TV to a new second and third digital subchannels. Until this point, there were no affiliates of either network in Boise. KTRV-DT2 was not added to Cable One systems until almost a year later on January 11, 2010.
On September 1, 2011, KTRV's affiliation agreement with Fox expired after which the network moved to CW outlet KNIN-TV (owned by the Journal Broadcast Group as part of a duopoly with ABC affiliate KIVI-TV). On September 12 of the same year, The CW Plus (seen on KNIN-DT2 and Cable One systems) moved to low-powered Retro Television Network (RTV) affiliate KYUU-LP that can also seen on a second digital subchannel of CBS affiliate KBOI-TV (both are owned by Fisher Communications in another duopoly).
