KRXI-TV (channel 11) is a television station in Reno, Nevada, United States, affiliated with Fox and NBC. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside sports-formatted independent station KNSN-TV (channel 21). 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; KRXI-TV is broadcast from transmitters on Peavine Peak and Slide Mountain.
KRXI-TV began broadcasting on December 3, 1995. It replaced channel 21, then KAME-TV, as Reno's Fox affiliate. Luther Mack, a restaurant owner, won the channel 11 permit and contracted with Cox Broadcasting for management, with Cox buying the station outright; Cox also programmed KAME. Even though the creation of a local news department was announced, the station primarily rebroadcast the 10 p.m. newscast of Cox-owned KTVU in Oakland, California. Sinclair acquired KRXI-TV and three other Cox stations in small markets in 2013; later that year, it purchased the physical assets of KRNV-DT, then Reno's NBC affiliate. On December 1, 2025, NBC programming moved from KRNV to a subchannel of KRXI.
