KXTF
KXTF (channel 35) is a religious television station in Twin Falls, Idaho, United States, owned and operated by Tri-State Christian Television (TCT). The station's transmitter is located on Flat Top Butte in unincorporated Jerome County east of Jerome and US 93. History The station originally signed on the air in January 1989 as KKVI, operating as a satellite station of Pocatello ABC affiliate KPVI; it also carried Fox as a secondary affiliation during the late evening hours. This arrangement ended when KPVI ended its ABC affiliation to become an NBC affiliate in 1996.

The station then chose to switch to Fox full-time. KXTF discontinued its Fox affiliation on July 1, 2012, following a dispute with the network over retransmission consent; several other stations lost their Fox affiliations a year earlier for similar reasons. The station subsequently affiliated with This TV; Pocatello sister station KFXP also lost its affiliation on that date and also joined This TV (MyNetworkTV affiliate KXPI-LD, which is repeated on the second digital channel of CBS affiliate KIDK, took over the
