KMOT, channel 10, is the NBC-affiliated television station for Minot, North Dakota. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 10 (or virtual channel 10.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter at its studios on the intersection of 16th Street SW and 18th Avenue SW in Minot. The station can also be seen on Midcontinent cable channel 7 in the Minot area, cable channel 10 in most other areas and SRT cable channel 9. There is a high definition feed provided on Midcontinent digital channel 607 and SRT digital channel 509.
KMOT is owned by Gray Television. KMOT is one of two full-fledged NBC stations in the NBC North Dakota network of NBC affiliates in western North Dakota, along with flagship station KFYR-TV in Bismarck. The NBC North Dakota network relays NBC network programming and other programs across central and western North Dakota, as well as bordering counties in Montana and South Dakota.
KMOT also operates a semi-satellite, KUMV-TV in Williston, which airs local advertising and weekday newscasts inserts focusing on the northwestern portion of the Minot/Bismarck market, but otherwise airs the same programming as KMOT. Although operated as a separate station in its own right, KMOT is actually considered a semi-satellite of KFYR-TV in Bismarck, which also has semi-satellite KQCD-TV in Dickinson. It clears all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent but airs separate newscasts, station identifications, and commercial inserts. KFYR and KQCD serve the southern portion of the Bismarck/Minot market while KMOT and KUMV serve the northern portion. The stations along with sister NBC affiliate KVLY-TV in Fargo often share news stories. Master control and some internal operations of KMOT are based at KFYR's facilities in Bismarck. The four stations are counted as a single unit for ratings purposes.
