KXMB-TV, channel 12, is the CBS-affiliated television station for Bismarck, North Dakota. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 12 (or virtual channel 12.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter near St. Anthony. The station can also be seen on Midcontinent cable channel 11 in Bismarck-Mandan, and cable channel 12 in most other areas. There is a high definition feed provided on Midcontinent digital channel 611.
KXMB is owned by Nexstar Media Group and serves as the flagship of KX Television, a regional network of three stations relaying CBS network programming and other programs provided by KXMB 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 KXMB but air station identifications and commercial inserts. KXMC-TV in Minot also produces separate local newscasts, KXMD-TV in Williston simulcasts KXMC's programming, and KXMA-TV in Dickinson simulcasts KXMB's programming. KXMC is the oldest station of the KX group, and was the flagship station originating programming until master control and internal operations were moved to KXMB in the 2000s. KXMB and KXMC often share news stories (along with ABC affiliates WDAY-TV in Fargo and WDAZ-TV in Grand Forks), and co-produce joint morning and 5:00 p.m. newscasts seen on all four stations. The four stations are counted as a single unit for ratings purposes. Dish Network only provides KXMC, while DirecTV only provides KXMB, as central and western North Dakota's CBS affiliate.
