KPVI's transmitter is located on a mountain top about 4 miles (7 km) ENE of the Pocatello city limits, along with its sister station KFXP.

  • KPVI-DT is the local NBC affiliate for Idaho Falls and Pocatello, Idaho. Licensed to Pocatello, it broadcasts a digital signal on channel 23. The station is owned by Sunbelt Communications Company. KPVI's transmitter is located on a mountain top about 4 miles (7 km) ENE of the Pocatello city limits, along with its sister station KFXP. This location was chosen because of possible interference from KIVI-TV in Boise, which also broadcasts on channel 6. At one time, KPVI and KIVI were sister stations (hence the roman numerals) with the same affiliation (ABC, until 1996). KPVI broadcast its analog signal at 100 kW. The station operated a semi-satellite, KJWY on digital channel 2 in Jackson, Wyoming, and had the distinction of being the lowest-powered full-service analog television station in the United States, at only 178 watts. It also tied CJBN-TV channel 13 of Kenora, Ontario, also at 178 watts, for the lowest-powered full-service analog station in North America. While KJWY was technically a satellite of KPVI, it also carried Wyoming news from another Sunbelt station, KCWY-DT in Casper, Wyoming. On March 2, 2009, Sunbelt Communications Company filed an application with the FCC to sell KJWY to PMCM TV; however, Sunbelt initially planned to retain control of KJWY under a local marketing agreement. The transaction was approved by the FCC on June 10, 2009 after both parties agreed to drop the proposed local marketing agreement. After closing the sale on June 12, 2009, KJWY dropped its NBC logo and KPVI simulcast. PMCM is seeking permission to reallocate KJWY from Jackson to Wilmington, Delaware, as part of a legal loophole that allows any VHF station that moves to a state with no FCC-licensed commercial VHF stations to receive automatic permission to move. After of the digital television transition of 2009, Delaware and New Jersey no longer have VHF signals. (PMCM is also looking to move KVNV to New Jersey under the same rule. ) The move would make KJWY and KVNV two of only a handful of stations east of the Mississippi River to have a call sign starting with "K" instead of "W", provided that the stations are not re-called. KPVI offers Universal Sports and This TV on its digital subchannels. KPVI's broadcasts are digital-only, effective June 12, 2009.
