KXMC-TV

KXMC-TV, channel 13, is the CBS-affiliated television station for Minot, North Dakota. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 13 (or virtual channel 13.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter southwest of Minot. The station can also be seen on Midcontinent cable channel 3 in the Minot area, cable channel 13 in most other areas and SRT cable channel 3.

There is a high definition feed provided on Midcontinent digital channel 603 and SRT digital channel 503. Owned by Nexstar Broadcasting Group, it has studios on the intersection of 2nd Street SE and 18th Avenue SE in Minot. KXMC is the oldest station and served as the flagship of the KX Television regional network until the 2000s, when master control and internal operations were moved to KXMB-TV in Bismarck. While being one of two full-fledged stations of the KX network, KXMC is actually considered a semi-satellite of KXMB. It clears all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent but airs separate newscasts, station identifications, and commercial inserts. KXMD-TV in Williston simulcasts KXMC while KXMA-TV in Dickinson simulcasts KXMB. KXMB and KXMC often share news stories (along with ABC affiliates WDAY-TV in Fargo and WDAZ-TV in Grand Forks), and co-produce joint morning and 5:00 p.m. newscasts seen on all four stations. The four stations are counted as a single unit for ratings purposes. Dish Network only provides KXMC, while DirecTV only provides KXMB, as central and western North Dakota's CBS affiliate.
