Until 2017, KVIQ operated as a full-power television station on digital channel 17. The full-power signal was sold to comply with FCC regulations, after former owner Northwest Broadcasting acquired another full-power signal, KIEM. Upon the completion of the sale, Northwest transferred the station's intellectual unit into a low-power facility.
