KNIN-TV (channel 9) is a television station licensed to Caldwell, Idaho, United States, serving as the Fox affiliate for the Boise area. It is owned by Gray Television, which maintains a shared services agreement (SSA) with the E. W. Scripps Company, owner of Nampa-licensed ABC affiliate KIVI-TV (channel 6), for the provision of certain services. Both stations share studios on East Chisholm Drive in Nampa along I-84/US 30/SH-55, while KNIN-TV's transmitter is located at the Bogus Basin ski area summit in unincorporated Boise County. The station signed on at the end of 1992 as KHDT-TV. Originally airing home shopping programming, the station raised its profile by affiliating with UPN in 1995. It then became a full-time general-entertainment station the next year under new KNIN-TV call letters. Journal Broadcast Group, the then-owner of KIVI, acquired KNIN-TV in 2009 after appealing an FCC decision denying the purchase. Two years later, in the wake of a dispute between Fox and its then-affiliate, KTRV-TV, KNIN-TV replaced it as Boise's Fox affiliate. When Scripps acquired Journal in 2015, it could not acquire the KNIN-TV license, which was transferred to Raycom Media and later Gray Television while Scripps continued to provide services and local news programming. Gray has filed to trade the station to Marquee Broadcasting in exchange for television properties serving Macon, Georgia. History Early years The station signed on December 28, 1992, as KHDT-TV, airing an analog signal on VHF channel 9. The launch allowed KHDT-TV to beat a year-end deadline to get on the air. 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. 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. In commercials, the station's mascot was Boise DJ Brad Rowen under the alias "Rot Wyler", fitting with the "canine" pronunciation of the call sign; the station's website called him "Idaho's most misunderstood no news anchor" and promised, "If there's news in the Treasure Valley, be assured K9-TV will miss it!" The station was operated by Banks Broadcasting by
