Owned by the Evangelistic Alaska Missionary Fellowship, it is sister to radio stations KJNP (1170 AM) and KJNP-FM (100.3).

The three stations share studios near Mission Road on the northeast side of North Pole; KJNP-TV's transmitter is located on the Ester Dome.

KJNP-TV and KJNP-AM-FM (which launched in 1967) were founded by Don and Gen Nelson.

KJNP-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 4, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate.

The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 20.
