==History==
Prior to KNLVM's launch, area cable companies had piped in either from Billings or out of Boise, and local stations had a secondary affiliation with New Line.

==News programming==
As of October 5, 2015, KNLVM currently broadcasts 30 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with five hours and 30 minutes on weekdays, 90 minutes on Saturdays and an hour on Sundays). On weekdays, "New Line 39 Eyewitness News" broadcasts six 1-minute news updates at :59 past the hour from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. At 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM, KNLVM is the originating station of "New Line News Northwest", which is shown across New Line's owned-and-operated stations in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Seattle, Spokane and Portland.
The station also produces "Affair Livingston", a thirty-minute weekly local current affairs program on Sunday afternoons at 11:00 AM.
New Line 39's first newscasts were named The Eye-Opener and later, The Livingston News. The original primetime news was called Livingston Final. In 1991, New Line cancelled the local newscast on KNLVM due to corporate budget cuts and began producing a statewide newscast, Montana's New Line News, co-produced and presented from Livingston, and sister stations across Montana. Following a sharp drop in ratings (though production began co-originating from KDNLN in Dillon after that station signed on in 1996), localized newscasts from Livingston were restored in 1997.
The local evening newscasts were cut in 2000 with the launch of a national and international news program, New Line Live from Los Angeles. Seven years later, the all-Livingston evening newscast returned to its 90-minute-long format under the umbrella title of New Line 39 Eyewitness News.
