KMVT is the CBS-affiliated television station for Southern Idaho's Magic Valley that is licensed to Twin Falls.〔KMVT is also a public-access television station in Mountain View, California - (KMVT 15 website )〕 It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 11 from a transmitter on Flat Top Butte in unincorporated Jerome County east of Jerome and U.S. 93. The station can also be seen on Cable ONE channel 12 and in high definition on digital channel 460. Owned by Gray Television, KMVT is sister to low-powered primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV affiliate KSVT-LD. The two outlets share studios on Blue Lakes Boulevard North/U.S. 93 in Twin Falls. Syndicated programming on this station includes ''Wheel of Fortune'', ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'', ''Dr. Phil'', and ''Two and a Half Men'' among others. ==History== The station went on the air on June 1, 1955 as KLIX-TV, a sister station to KLIX radio (1310 AM). It has been a CBS affiliate since sign-on; however, in its early years the station carried programs from ABC and NBC. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network. In 1957, Ogden, Utah businessman Abe Glasmann purchased the KLIX radio and TV stations and KUTV in Salt Lake City. Glasmann sold the radio station, which retained the call letters KLIX. He rechristened the TV station KMVT. "MVT" stood for "Magic Valley Television," reflecting the area's nickname of "Magic Valley." In 1965 KMVT became the first television station in Idaho to broadcast local programs in color. Arthur Mosby and his Western Broadcasting Company of Missoula, Montana, which operated KMSO-TV (now KECI-TV) in Missoula, acquired KMVT in 1970. In 1984, control of the station was transferred to the Chapman S. Root 1982 Living Trust. The Catamount Broadcast Group acquired the station in 1998 and sold it to the Neuhoff family in 2004. KMVT became the first station to air Apple Computer's famous "1984" commercial on December 31, 1983, before midnight, to ensure the ad would qualify for the year 1984's advertising awards, which only counted ads aired in 1983. In September 2006, KMVT began carrying The CW network on its DT2 subchannel, which was also seen on KTWT-LP (channel 43); in 2012, KTWT switched to MyNetworkTV (with CW programming remaining on the KMVT subchannel), then (after converting to digital operations on channel 14) to Fox. In 2014, KTWT became KSVT-LD. On March 12, 2015, Neuhoff Communications announced the sale of KMVT and KSVT to Gray Television for $17.5 million, pending FCC approval.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/83670/gray-buying-twin-falls-duopoly-for-175m )〕 The sale was completed on July 1. 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「KMVT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
