KXJB-LD, channel 30, is the CBS affiliate for Fargo, North Dakota. Licensed to nearby Horace and owned by Gray Television, the station is a sister to NBC affiliate KVLY-TV, and the two stations have a co-located studio/office located at 21st Avenue South in Fargo. The station broadcasts a 1080i HD signal from a transmitter located at the KXJB/KVLY studios.
Due to KXJB's low-power status, its over-the-air signal does not adequately cover the vast Fargo/Grand Forks market. Therefore, the station's main CBS channel is simulcast on KVLY's second digital subchannel in 720p HD to increase its over-the-air broadcasting radius. KVLY's transmitter, which is the tallest above-ground structure in the Western Hemisphere, is located near Blanchard. KVLY's transmitter also transmits KXJB's much lower powered translator K28MA-D (Argusville), carrying all of KXJB's subchannels on channel 28. This translator duplicates most of the coverage area of the previous KXJB's (now KRDK-TV), channel 4, strong coverage between Fargo and Grand Forks, and areas west of Fargo to the Valley City area. KXJB's other translator is K30LR-D, carrying all of the KXJB subchannels on channel 30, in Grand Forks.
KXJB's main CBS channel can be seen on cable channel 9 on Midco and Cable One, DirecTV channel 30, Dish Network channel 4 (an attribute to the predecessor CBS affiliate's licensed channel, now KRDK-TV), and in high definition on Midco digital channel 604 and Cable One digital channel 1009.
