KTYJ-LP (channel 58) was a low-power television station in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States. It began broadcasting in 1994 as an independent station; its operation was dominated by a legal dispute that led to a bankruptcy filing as investors cut the licensee out of station management. The dispute ended in 1996 with the owner, David Derryberry, receiving control; under his management, the station returned in 1997, became KTYJ-LP, and was sold to Christian Broadcasting of Idaho, Inc. That company ran KTYJ until 2009, when it closed for financial reasons.
