KNIN-TV

KNIN-TV (channel 9) is a television station licensed to Caldwell, Idaho, United States, serving as the Fox affiliate for the Boise area.

Journal Broadcast Group, then-owner of ABC affiliate KIVI-TV, acquired KNIN-TV in 2009 after appealing an FCC decision denying the purchase.

[4] It was originally owned by William Schuyler, who had put several television stations on the air in California, and was affiliated with the Home Shopping Network (HSN).

On January 16, 1995, it became a charter UPN affiliate while continuing to air HSN from midnight to 6 p.m.[5] Schuyler sold KHDT-TV in 1996 to Boise Broadcasting, a division of Las Vegas-based Lambert Television.

On September 2, 1996, the station dropped most of its home shopping programming for a general-entertainment independent lineup and became a dual affiliate of UPN and The WB.

[22][23] The merger was completed on April 1, 2015,[24][25] and Kiel Media Group assumed the operations of the license; Scripps retained KIVI-TV and the radio stations.

[32] The newscast was extended to a full hour and to seven nights a week when KNIN-TV became the Fox affiliate in September 2011; Journal expanded the KIVI-TV news operation with 10 new staffers.

[34] Upon acquiring the station from Gray, Marquee initially investigated staffing its own newsroom for KNIN-TV, going as far as to post job openings, but it opted instead to contract with KBOI-TV for technical services and newscasts beginning in October 2023.
