KXDF-CD, channel 13 (branded as KXD), is the CBS affiliate in Fairbanks, Alaska. It is owned by Gray Television, and is a sister station to NBC affiliate KTVF, and Fox affiliate KFXF. The station's studios, shared with KFXF, are located on Braddock Street in Fairbanks, and the transmitter is northeast of the city.
KXDF-CD signed on the air on August 7, 1996 as K13XD, the area's sixth television station, four months after longtime CBS affiliate KTVF switched to NBC. In the interim, select CBS programming was seen on sister station KFXF, such as The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Nanny, 60 Minutes, Late Show with David Letterman, and Walker, Texas Ranger. The addition of K13XD also meant that Fairbanks would finally have a station for each of the four main networks: KATN (ABC), KFXF (Fox), KTVF (NBC), and K13XD (CBS), along with KJNP-TV (TBN) and KUAC-TV (PBS). In 2012, the station flash-cut from analog to digital, modifying its call sign to K13XD-D. The call letters were changed to KXDD-CD on November 7, 2016 and to KXDF-CD on December 16, 2016; however, the station has operated as a class A station since 2000, despite retaining a call sign identical to those used by translator stations.
