KFYR-TV, channel 5, is the NBC-affiliated television station for Bismarck, North Dakota. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 31 (or virtual channel 5.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter near St. Anthony. The station can also be seen on Midcontinent cable channel 7 in the Bismarck-Mandan area and cable channel 5 in most other areas. There is a high definition feed provided on Midcontinent digital channel 607.
Owned by Gray Television, it has studios on North 4th Street and East Broadway Avenue in downtown Bismarck. KFYR serves as the flagship of NBC North Dakota, a regional network of three stations relaying NBC network programming and other programs provided by KFYR across central and western North Dakota, as well as bordering counties in Montana and South Dakota. The three satellite stations clear all network and syndicated programming as provided through KFYR but air station identifications and commercial inserts. KQCD-TV in Dickinson simulcasts all of KFYR's programming, while KMOT in Minot also produces its own weekday local newscasts at 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 pm, and KUMV-TV in Williston simulcasts KMOT's newscasts with local inserts.
