KNTS-LP is a low power television station in Natchitoches, Louisiana, broadcasting locally as an AMGTV affiliate on channel 17. It was founded in 1995 but launched over the air in 1998 by CP-Tel Network Services, a local Internet services provider, and it was managed by Richard Gill. It was originally affiliated with America One and received cable coverage one month after it began broadcasting.

Currently the station broadcasts religious programs including The 700 Club weekdays at noon. It is also affiliated with AMGTV, a new digital broadcast network with family-friendly religious shows, lifestyle shows, movies and dramas.

At one point KNTS was the flagship station for the Northwestern State Demons. Despite its broadcast in analog, KNTS has a digital translator, KNYS-LD, broadcasting digitally on channel 27.

It is located outside City of Natchitoches in unincorporated Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana.
