KNIN-TV, also known as K9 Entertainment Television, is an affiliate of the CW TV network, and serves the Boise, Idaho area. The station is owned by Banks Broadcasting and operates on VHF channel 9. It signed on the air by owner William Schuyler as KHDT-TV in 1993 as an affiliate of the Home Shopping Network. Schuyler later sold the station to a subsidiary of Lambert Broadcasting, who affiliated it with both the United Paramount Network (UPN) and the Warner Bros. Network (the "WB"). In time, the station dropped the WB affiliation to be a sole UPN affiliate until UPN and WB merged in 2006 to form the CW. It is licensed to Caldwell, Idaho.

In addition to the main channel, KNIN also operates a CW Plus channel on its digital signal. This was originally KWOB, a cable-only WB affiliate that was part of The WB 100+ Station Group. When KNIN, originally a UPN affiliate, took The CW affilaition, they added the channel to its digital signal as part of the new CW Plus. During prime-time CW network programming, the schedules on both KNIN and KNIN-DT2 are identical.
