KTVF is an NBC-affiliated television station located in Fairbanks, Alaska, United States. KTVF is owned by Gray Television, as the sister stations of Fox affiliate KFXF-LD and CBS affiliate KXDF-CD. The station broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 26 (or virtual channel 11 via PSIP) from a transmitter located on the Ester Dome. KTVF maintains separate studios located on International Drive in downtown Fairbanks. KTVF operates a digital fill-in translator on VHF channel 11 from a transmitter located at KFXF and KXDF-CD's studios on Braddock Street in downtown Fairbanks. This station is also used to provide full-market over-the-air high definition coverage of the low-powered Fox-affiliated KFXF-LD (simulcast over KTVF-DT2), as well as the low-powered CBS-affiliated KXDF-CD (simulcast over KTVF-DT3).
The station signed on the air in February 1955 as the first television station serving what at the time was the smallest television market in the United States. The station was a CBS affiliate until April 1, 1996.
