KIFI-TV is the local American Broadcasting Company affiliate for Idaho Falls and Pocatello, Idaho. It broadcasts an analog signal on channel 8, and a digital signal on channel 9. The station is owned by News-Press & Gazette Company of St. Joseph, Missouri.

Founded in 1961, KIFI-TV was the third television station to broadcast in Eastern Idaho. It went on the air in January 1961. In early 1996, KIFI-TV changed from an NBC affiliate to an ABC affiliate, swapping with the longtime ABC affiliate KPVI.

Originally owned by The Post Register, the area's leading newspaper, it was sold to News-Press & Gazette in 2005.

KIFI-TV was branded as Idaho 8 for a number of years, before being branded Local News 8 in early 1999.
