We are excited to announce a new, stronger TV signal for Eastern Idaho. KIFI Local News 8 is replacing its VHF channel 8 with a UHF channel 18, but viewers will see it as channel 8.

Friday, June 20, 2025, marks Nexstar’s 29th Founder’s Day, and community events are being held all across the country.

IDAHO FALLS, ID (KIFI) – KIFI Local News 8 is welcoming back experienced journalist and former Channel 8 anchor Doug Long to the station as Evening Anchor.

Channel 8 will return to DirecTV temporarily amid a dispute between Channel 8’s owner, Nexstar Media Group, and the satellite service provider.
