It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 36 (or virtual channel 3.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on East Butte in northern unincorporated Bingham County along the Idaho National Laboratory border. The station can also be seen on Cable One channel 3 and in high definition on digital channel 1003. Owned by VistaWest Media, LLC, KIDK is sister to low-powered primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV outlet KXPI-LD and both are operated through a shared services agreement with the News-Press & Gazette Company. This arrangement makes the two stations sister to ABC affiliate KIFI-TV and all three share studios on North Yellowstone Highway/U.S. 26 in Idaho Falls. Syndicated programming on this station includes ''Two and a Half Men'', ''The Big Bang Theory'', ''The Doctors'', and ''Dr. Phil'' among others. ==History== The station was founded on December 20, 1953 as KID-TV, co-owned with KID radio (AM 590 and FM 96.1). The station has been a primary affiliate of CBS since its debut, however it carried secondary affiliations with the DuMont Television Network until its 1955 shutdown, NBC until 1961 (moving to KIFI-TV thereafter until swapping affiliations with KPVI in 1996) and ABC until 1974 when KPVI became a primary affiliate of the network upon that station's sign on. KID-TV changed its callsign to KIDK on December 18, 1984, when the radio stations were sold. After dropping its secondary NBC affiliation, KIDK had an exclusive affiliation with CBS until September 1994, as it began carrying Fox shows in late fringe hours. This allowed the station to continue airing NFL football, which moved to Fox during the 1994 United States broadcast TV realignment. In 1996, KIDK agreed to carry UPN as a third affiliation (KPID-LP, now KXPI-LD, affiliated with the network when it debuted in June 2001; however, KIDK continued its secondary affiliation with the network until 2003). Star Trek: Voyager, the highest-rated UPN program, was cleared in market on KPVI as station management replaced NYPD:Blue, feeling it was too vulgar for local market standards. NYPD: Blue aired in its scheduled timeslot on KIFI once it became affiliated with ABC. On December 9, 2010, Fisher Communications announced that it had entered into a shared services arrangement with News-Press & Gazette Company-owned ABC affiliate KIFI-TV, under which KIDK would be run out of the KIFI facility and 27 KIDK staffers would be laid off. The move placed KIDK under the co-management of the station that accepted the ABC and NBC affiliations that KIDK formerly carried in the same secondary capacity prior to becoming an exclusive CBS affiliate.〔(KIDK-KIFI SSA Deal To Cost 27 Jobs ), ''TVNewsCheck'', December 9, 2010.〕 The transaction was completed on January 1, 2011.〔(KIFI and KIDK enter staff-sharing agreement ), ''Post Register'', December 8, 2010.〕 On April 11, 2013, Fisher announced that it would sell its stations to the Sinclair Broadcast Group. The deal was completed on August 8, 2013. Shortly beforehand, a deal was reached to sell KIDK and KXPI to VistaWest Media, LLC, a company based in St. Joseph, Missouri (where NPG is also based); the stations will remain operated by NPG under a shared services agreement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1561083&Service=DT&Form_id=314&Facility_id=56028 )〕 The sale was finalized on November 29.〔https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25&appn=101604033&formid=905&fac_num=56028〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KIDK」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
