KNSN-TV (channel 21) is a primary sports-formatted independent television station in Reno, Nevada, United States, which has a secondary affiliation with MyNetworkTV. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside dual Fox/NBC affiliate KRXI-TV (channel 11). Sinclair also provides certain services to KRNV-DT (channel 4) under joint sales and shared services agreements (JSA/SSA) with Cunningham Broadcasting; however, Sinclair effectively owns KRNV as the majority of Cunningham's stock is owned by the family of deceased group founder Julian Smith. The three stations share studios on Vassar Street in Reno; KNSN-TV's transmitter is located on Red Hill between US 395 and SR 445 in Sun Valley, Nevada.
