KTTW and KTTM (channel 7) are religious television stations licensed respectively to Sioux Falls and Huron, South Dakota, United States, owned and operated by Tri-State Christian Television (TCT). KTTW's transmitter is located in Rowena, while KTTM's tower is near Alpena, South Dakota.
KTTM operates as a full-time satellite of KTTW; its existence is only acknowledged in station identifications.
Established as a Fox affiliate on channel 17 in 1987, KTTW was the fourth commercial station to be built in Sioux Falls and the first Fox affiliate in the state. KTTM went on the air in 1991. Its owner, Independent Communications, Inc., sold the programming and Fox affiliation, as well as its five dependent translators, to Gray Television in 2020, resulting in the establishment of Fox Sioux Falls, a subchannel of KDLT-TV. It then sold the KTTW and KTTM facilities and licenses to Radiant Life Ministries, a sister company of TCT.
