KMMF is a full-service television station in Missoula, Montana, broadcasting locally in analog on UHF channel 17 as an affiliate of Fox. Founded April 25, 2000, the station is owned by Equity Broadcasting. The station's signal is repeated in Kalispell, Montana on KMMF-LP channel 34.

KMMF added MyNetworkTV as a secondary affiliation in September 2006.

As of March 2008, KMMF's signal is no longer originating from Missoula, Montana. The signal is now originating from Little Rock, Arkansas. The quality of the signal is poor, including signal loss for extended periods of time, audio and video blips, and intermittent or garbled closed captioning. There are several places where a local commercial should be cued but there is simply dead air for anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds. Several times a week the start of Prime Time is not the correct signal, there is either a block of 5-10 minutes worth of commercials, or the second hour is playing where the 1st hour should be.

Digital television

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [http://www.transmitter.com/FCC97115/chanplan.html] , the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 17, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KMMF will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
