KBCI-TV channel 2 is the CBS affiliate in Boise, Idaho. It is owned by Fisher Communications and is the market's second television station, having signed on the air on November 26, 1953.
KBCI originally signed on as KBOI-TV with CBS, ABC and DuMont affiliations. By 1974 the ABC affiliation went to new sign-on KIVI, leaving KBOI with CBS. After its co-owned radio stations were sold, its call letters were changed to KBCI. The KBCI call letters were chosen because at the time, the station had a sign consisting of 10 to 12 foot high metal letters "KBOI" on the front of its studio, and the station could make the old sign match the new call letters simply by sawing out a section of the "O."
KBCI also owns and operates local Univision affiliate KUNB-LP channel 35.
