KXTF is the Fox network affiliate in Twin Falls, Idaho, broadcasting on digital channel 34. The station is owned by Sunbelt Communications Company.

The station was previously a satellite station of ABC affiliate KPVI in Pocatello, Idaho, with the call letters KKVI, while carrying Fox as a secondary network in off-hours. This arrangement ended when KPVI dropped ABC to become an NBC affiliate. KKVI could not operate as an NBC affiliate because KTVB in Boise, Idaho provided NBC network service to Twin Falls via translator. The station switched to Fox full time.

As of October 30, 2006, KXTF simulcasts the 9 p.m. newscast of sister station KFXP, which is produced by KPVI; it is titled "NBC Newschannel 6 at 9".
