KX Television

KX Television, sometimes branded as KX Net or simply KX, is a group of four television stations in western North Dakota owned by Nexstar Broadcasting. All of the stations are affiliated with CBS. The stations style themselves as Your Eye on Dakota, an allusion to the CBS logo. All stations have always been affiliated with CBS.

Stations

The network consists of four stations:

The group was formed in 1958 when John Boler, owner of KBMB-TV in Bismarck (founded in 1955), sold a half-interest in his station to Minot businessman Chester Reiten. Boler and Reiten then teamed up to buy North Dakota's oldest station, KCJB-TV in Minot (founded in 1953), and changed its call letters to KXMC-TV. The two stations formed a mini-network, with KXMC as the flagship station even though KBMB was the larger station. A year later, KBMB changed its calls to KXMB.

KXMD in Williston signed on in 1969. Two years later, Boler sold his stake in the stations to Reiten. In 1985, Reiten bought KNDX in Dickinson and changed its calls to KXMA to complete the network.
