KTVA (channel 11) is a television station in Anchorage, Alaska, United States. It is a satellite of PBS member station KAKM (channel 7) which is owned by Alaska Public Media. KTVA's transmitter is located in Spenard—covering the Anchorage bowl and much of the adjacent Matanuska-Susitna Valley.
KTVA was a commercial station affiliated with CBS from its sign-on in December 1953. That relationship ended on July 31, 2020, when the CBS affiliation in Anchorage was moved to KYES-TV (channel 5, now KAUU) as that station's parent company, Gray Television, acquired KTVA's non-license assets.
KTVA signed off on September 3, 2020. It resumed broadcasting on September 2, 2021, to retain its license.
In the past, KTVA was a partner of the service of low-power translators through the Alaska Rural Communications Service (ARCS).
