History

The station began July 9, 1990 when the FCC issued an original construction permit to King Broadcasting Company for K58DQ.

Derryberry, who brought the station on air under Program Test Authority in February 1994, with the license to follow on April 1 1994.

After operating the station for a little more than two years, Christian Broadcasting of Idaho reached an agreement to sell the station to North Rocky Mountain Television. The FCC approved the transaction on April 30 2001, but the sale was never consummated and Christian Broadcasting of Idaho remained as the station's owner. Subsequent FCC documents continued to show Christian Broadcasting of Idaho as the owners of KTYJ-LP.
