KWVT-LD (channel 17) is a low-power television station licensed to Salem, Oregon, United States, serving the Portland area. The station is owned by Northwest Television, LLC. KWVT-LD's transmitter is located in West Portland.

The station signed on the air on channel 52, licensed to Eola, on May 20, 2005.

On May 8, 2007, Northwest Television sold channel 52 to Churchill Media of Eugene, Oregon. On August 17, 2007, channel 52 began carrying programming from the Spanish-language Azteca América network, as KXPD-LP. (That station would cease operations by the end of 2009.)

Northwest Television had since moved to K17IV (channel 17), which adopted the KWVT-LP calls in November 2007, and changed the city of license from Eola to Salem.

In September 2008, Northwest Television activated a digital signal on KSLM-LD (channel 16). As of March 15, 2010, KSLM has moved to channel 27.

On December 31, 2022, Azteca América ceased operations.

Independent producers develop original programming for KWVT-LD, such as Garden Time, Fusion, High Desert Outdoorsman and Living Culture, as well as music video shows Hard Times, My Hits and Country Comfort. KWVT-LD has a high-definition production facility that covers area events such as high school football.

KWVT-LD is the local primary Emergency Alert System (EAS) station for the "(Oregon State) Capitol Operational Area".
