== History ==
KONT-DT first signed on the air on May 15, 1977 by James Jenkins under his FCC license allowing his educational opportunity to be granted to more people. KONT was also independent until the station affiliated with The WB in 1995 to alleviate costs. Then in 2006 when The WB folded, KONT opted to become MyNetworkTV as opposed to The CW.
Early in 2015 KONT started having money management issues due to a lack of proper leadership in maintaining the station. Fraud and embezzlement plagued the station thanks to former President Kai Marcuson's indictment for said crimes first of year. The money drain continued until July 15, when KONT was acquired by BeloOne which created a duopoly with CBS affiliate, KSRO-DT. This move in essence saved KONT and brought it back to a standard that residents in Ontario and the areas surrounding the Snake River have enjoyed for years. On September 5, 2017, BeloOne sold the station to Tribune Broadcasting.
