[edit] History
The station signed on the air on October 18, 1981. When KTRV first went on the air, it was the only independent TV station in the region. In 1986, KTRV became a charter Fox affiliate and was Fox's only charter affiliate in Idaho.
For the first six years, it regularly showed syndicated talk shows and children's programming in the day and movies in the evening.
On February 6, 2009, KTRV launched a My Network TV/This TV affiliate on digital subchannel 12.2, known as "My Boise TV".
