KMVT is the CBS affiliate in Twin Falls, Idaho. Its analog signal is broadcast over Channel 11. Its transmitter is located in Jerome, Idaho

KMVT went on the air on June 1, 1955 using the call letters of its sister radio station, KLIX. KMVT has been a CBS affiliate since sign on, however, in its early years the station carried programs from ABC and NBC.

In 1957, Ogden, Utah businessman Abe Glasmann purchased the KLIX radio and TV stations and KUTV in Salt Lake City. Glasmann sold the radio station, which retained the call letters KLIX. He rechristened the TV station KMVT. "MVT" stood for "Magic Valley Television," reflecting the area's nickname of "Magic Valley."

In 1965 KMVT became the first television station in Idaho to broadcast local programs in color.

Western Broadcasting Company of Missoula, Montana, which operated KMSO-TV (now KECI) in Missoula, acquired KMVT in 1970. In 1984, control of the station was transferred to the Chapman S. Root 1982 Living Trust. The Catamount Broadcast Group acquired the station in 1998 and sold it to the Neuhoff family in 2004. Today KMVT Broadcasting Inc. is a subsidiary of the Neuhoff family limited partnership.

In September 2006, KMVT began carrying The CW network on its DT2 subchannel, which is also seen terrestrially on KTWT-LP channel 43.
