On the Bench in Boise (and areas East) with the right antenna you could watch KMVT 11.
Was nice when Boise only had 2 & 7 and 11 would run more ABC programs.1647990058956.png

I chose only the Boise/Nampa stations because the Times-News is the only available source on newspapers.com with those stations in that market I was living in at the time. But I think I can throw in KMVT for you.

Sure that would be fun if you can. I worked in Twin Falls from ‘95-‘97 and made good relations with KMVT despite being with another media source haha so I was curious how their schedule went in the 80’s.
