KPVI is the local NBC affiliate for Idaho Falls and Pocatello, Idaho. It broadcasts an analog signal on channel 6, and 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 television in Nampa, Idaho which also broadcasts on channel 6 and at one time were sister stations (hence the roman numerals) with the same affiliation (ABC, until 1996). KPVI broadcasts its analog signal at 100 kW.

KJWY is a full service television station broadcasting on analog channel 2 in Jackson, Wyoming, and has the distinction of being the lowest-powered full-service 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 station in North America. While KJWY is technically a satellite of KPVI, it also carries Wyoming news from co-owned KCWY in Casper, Wyoming.

KPVI offers NBC Weather Plus and LATV on its digital subchannels.

History

KPVI was an ABC television affiliate until January, 1996 when the station switched to NBC, effectively swapping affiliation with Idaho Falls station KIFI. This was driven by the purchase of the station by Sunbelt Communications Company, which operated other NBC stations, including KVBC in Las Vegas NV, KRNV Reno Nevada, and KYMA in Yuma Arizona.

As a result of its ownership change the station moved in the mid-1990s from a smaller downtown facility to a newly remodeled facility on East Sherman Street. Saturday Night Live star Molly Shannon was the guest of honor at the official grand opening of the East Sherman Street facility.

Newscast Titles

* Before becoming an NBC affiliate, KPVI branded as "Channel 6 Eyewitness News"
* At the time of the NBC switch, the station branded news and programming as "NBC News 6" this was later changed to NewsChannel 6.
