KBJR-TV (channel 6) in Superior, Wisconsin, and KRII (channel 11) in Chisholm, Minnesota, are television stations serving as the NBC and CBS affiliates for northeast Minnesota, northwest Wisconsin, and the Duluth, Minnesota, area. Owned by Gray Media, they share common ownership with CW+ affiliate KDLH (channel 3). The stations share studios on South Lake Avenue in Canal Park, downtown Duluth; KBJR-TV's transmitter is located west of downtown in Hilltop Park.
KRII, formerly branded as Range 11, operates as a semi-satellite and has a news bureau and advertising sales office on East Howard Street in Hibbing. KRII serves the northern portion of the market, including the Iron Range area, Grand Rapids and International Falls. This station simulcasts KBJR except during commercials and station identifications. KRII's transmitter is located in Linden Grove Township; master control and most internal operations are based at KBJR's facilities in Duluth. It also acts as a full-power translator station of all of the various channels and subchannels of KBJR.
KBJR operates the area's CBS affiliate on a second digital subchannel, known on-air as CBS 3 in reference to the Twin Ports' longtime CBS affiliate, KDLH, and because it is carried on Charter Spectrum cable channel 3. KDLH was formerly operated by KBJR under a shared services agreement (SSA), wound down following the purchase of KBJR and KDLH by Quincy and SagamoreHill Broadcasting respectively. KBJR also operates a MyNetworkTV-affiliated third subchannel, branded as My 9 (also in reference to its cable position) which airs programming from Gray's North Star Sports and Entertainment Network outside of the MyNetworkTV lineup.
