KYUU-LP is the CW-affiliated television station for Idaho's Treasure Valley licensed to Boise. It broadcasts a low-powered analog signal on UHF channel 35 from a transmitter at the Bogus Basin ski area summit in unincorporated Boise County. The station can also be seen on Cable One channel 21. Owned by Fisher Communications, KYUU is sister to CBS affiliate KBOI-TV and the two share studios on North 16th Street in Western Downtown Boise.
Due to its low-powered status, this station does not currently offer a digital signal of its own. Therefore, one is provided in standard definition on KBOI's second digital subchannel (UHF channel 28.2 or virtual channel 2.2 via PSIP) from the same summit transmitter. There is no website provided for the station. The station clears most of the CW lineup but also airs a morning newscast at 7AM, a primetime newscast at 9PM, and occasional local sporting events.

The station signed-on November 10, 1993 with the call sign K66EV and airing a signal on UHF channel 66. Until mid-December 2008, it was affiliated with the Spanish network Telefutura as KUNB-LP and broadcasting on its current off-air channel location. Until switching to RTV on July 1, 2009, the station simulcasted then-CBS affiliate KBCI. The call letters KYUU-LP were adopted at some point in 2009. At one point in time, the station was listed as a Univision affiliate but has never been affiliated with that network. On September 12, 2011, KYUU-LP became Boise's CW affiliate.
KYUU airs two newscasts, one at 7AM & one at 9PM. The prime time newscast airs against a broadcast airing on KNIN. With the change to The CW, KYUU also adds the nationally syndicated morning show The Daily Buzz which can be seen on all CW Plus stations.
