Overview

KINV-LD is a low-power television station associated with the Billings, Montana, television market. The available reference material identifies it in connection with the distribution of programming carried by KJJC-TV, a television station serving Great Falls, Montana. Specifically, the five subchannels carried by KJJC-TV are also broadcast by KINV-LD in Billings, extending that multiplexed service into another Montana market. The referenced KJJC-TV lineup includes MeTV as its principal service and Christian television programming, including JUCE TV, on additional subchannels. The material does not establish KINV-LD's launch date, ownership, facilities, transmitter location, call-sign history, licensing history, or whether it operates as an independently programmed station or primarily as a relay facility. Its supplied website is Daystar's corporate website, but the available sources do not verify a current ownership or affiliation relationship between Daystar and KINV-LD. Accordingly, KINV-LD is best documented conservatively as a Billings-area low-power broadcast outlet whose known role is to retransmit or distribute the KJJC-TV multiplex. Further FCC or station-specific records would be required to complete its corporate, technical, and historical profile.

History

The available reference material provides only limited historical information about KINV-LD itself. It mentions the station in the context of KJJC-TV's digital multicast operation and states that all five KJJC-TV subchannels are also broadcast by KINV-LD in Billings, Montana. This places KINV-LD within a broader Montana television-distribution arrangement, but the material does not provide a date for its construction, first broadcast, licensing, ownership, call-sign changes, or technical upgrades. It also does not identify whether KINV-LD has ever produced local programming or whether it has operated solely as a retransmission outlet. The supplied website is Daystar's website, yet no source in the provided material confirms that Daystar owns, operates, programs, or brands KINV-LD. The station's history therefore remains incomplete and should not be conflated with the substantially documented history of KJJC-TV, formerly KTGF. KJJC-TV began broadcasting in Great Falls in 1986, later changed ownership and affiliations, and eventually carried MeTV and Christian programming across its digital subchannels. KINV-LD is mentioned as a Billings outlet carrying that same five-channel service, but the source does not document the legal or operational relationship between the two stations. A complete encyclopedia entry would require station-specific FCC licensing records, current facility data, reliable ownership filings, and an authoritative station or network profile.
