Product Code Database
KSVT-LD (channel 14) is a low-power television station in Twin Falls, Idaho, United States, affiliated with Fox and MyNetworkTV. It is owned by Gray Media alongside dual CBS/CW+ affiliate KMVT (channel 11). The two stations share studios on Blue Lakes Boulevard North/US 93 in Twin Falls; KSVT-LD's transmitter is located on Flattop Mountain in unincorporated Jerome County east of Jerome and US 93.
In addition to its own digital signal, KSVT-LD is simulcast in standard definition on KMVT's third digital subchannel (11.3) from the same transmitter site.
KTWT joined Fox on July 1, 2012, replacing KXTF (channel 35); the station also converted to digital operation and branded as "Fox 14" (making it one of a handful of digital stations to brand using its physical channel as opposed to its former analog channel); MyNetworkTV programming is shown out-of-pattern weeknights at 10 p.m. KTWT was also added to a new third digital subchannel of KMVT. On February 27, 2014, the station changed its call letters to KSVT-LD to reflect an increased emphasis on Blaine County and the Wood River Valley, including Sun Valley (from which the call letters are derived). (A previous and unrelated low-power TV station in Ketchum had also operated as KSVT-LD, simulcasting with KSVX-CD in Hailey.)
On March 12, 2015, Gray Television announced that it would purchase KSVT-LD and KMVT from Neuhoff Communications for $17.5 million. The sale was completed on July 1.
On July 7, 2025, it was announced that, in an exchange of several stations between Gray Media and the E. W. Scripps Company, KSVT-LD and KMVT would be traded to Scripps, making them sister station to KSAW-LD.
Newscasts
With KTWT's transition to Fox affiliation, there was a significant expansion of the news operation of sister station KMVT. More specifically, the CBS affiliate began producing a half-hour extension of its morning newscast Rise and Shine that is seen weekdays at 7 a.m. on KSVT. In addition, this station added half-hour newscasts at 5 p.m. on weeknights only and every night at 9 p.m. The news broadcasts on KSVT utilize a separate news anchor on weeknights and feature more regional, national and international news of the day compared to the newscasts seen on KMVT. As with local newscasts on KMVT, daily newscasts seen on KSVT-LD are broadcast in high definition. Concurrent with the relaunch as KSVT, Neuhoff Communications announced that the station would open a Wood River Valley bureau.
