KBSD-DT, virtual and VHF digital channel 6, is a CBS-affiliated television station serving Dodge City, Kansas, United States that is licensed to Ensign. The station is owned by Gray Television. KBSD maintains offices located on Airport Road in northeastern Dodge City, and its transmitter is located east of K-23 in rural northwestern Gray County.
KBSD is part of the Kansas Broadcasting System (KBS), a statewide network of four full-power stations that relay programming from Wichita CBS affiliate KWCH-DT central and western Kansas; KBSD incorporates local advertising and news inserts aimed at areas of southwestern Kansas within the Wichita-Hutchinson Plus television market as well as portions of the Oklahoma panhandle within the Amarillo market.
The station first signed on the air on July 24, 1957 as KTVC. In 1962, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that central and western Kansas were part of the Wichita market. As a result, Des Moines-based Cowles Communications bought KTVC, KAYS-TV (now KBSH-DT) in Hays and KLOE-TV (now KBSL-DT) in Goodland and converted them into semi-satellites of KTVH. The three stations, which – along with flagship station KTVH – formed the Kansas Broadcasting System, relayed CBS programming throughout central and western Kansas.
