KXMD-TV, channel 11, is the CBS affiliate for Williston, North Dakota. The station operates as a semi-satellite of KXMC-TV in Minot, North Dakota. This outlet broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 14 (or virtual channel 11.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter west of Williston near the North Dakota/Montana border. KXMD identifies itself as a station in its own right, but simulcasts all programming from KXMC. However, KXMD airs separate commercials and station identifications. The station maintains a news bureau and advertising sales office at the intersection of 13th Avenue West and 18th Street West (near U.S. Highway 2/85) in Williston. KXMD's viewing area includes most of the Montana portion of this vast market. As Montana is within the Mountain Time Zone, primetime programming on KXMD begins at 6 pm rather than at 7 pm for other stations licensed in the Central Time Zone. The station can also be seen on Midcontinent cable channel 6 in Williston, and cable channel 11 in most other areas. There is a high definition feed provided on Midcontinent digital channel 606.
As a semi-satellite of KXMC-TV, KXMD-TV is part of the KX Television regional network. Programming, master control and internal operations for the entire KX network is provided by Bismarck's KXMB-TV, which airs mostly separate local news programming from KXMC/KXMD and simulcasts it on KXMA-TV in Dickinson. The KX network relays CBS network programming and other programs across central and western North Dakota, as well as bordering counties in Montana and South Dakota. KXMD clears all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent but airs separate station identifications and commercial inserts. KXMD serves the northwestern portion of the Bismarck/Minot market. The four stations along with ABC affiliates WDAY-TV in Fargo and WDAZ-TV in Grand Forks often share news stories. The four stations are counted as a single unit for ratings purposes.
