KXMC-TV (channel 13) is a television station in Minot, North Dakota, United States, affiliated with CBS. Its second digital subchannel serves as an owned-and-operated station of The CW (via The CW Plus). KXMC-TV is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and maintains studios on 2nd Street and 18th Avenue SE in Minot; its transmitter is located near South Prairie.
KXMC-TV is the oldest station and served as the flagship of the KX Television regional network until the 2000s, when master control and internal operations were moved to the studios of KXMB-TV (channel 12) on North 15th Street in Bismarck. While being one of two full-fledged stations of the KX network, KXMC is actually considered a semi-satellite of KXMB. It clears all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent but airs separate local newscasts, local identifications, and commercial inserts. KXMD-TV (channel 11) in Williston simulcasts KXMC while KXMA-DT2 (channel 2.2) in Dickinson simulcasts KXMB. 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.
The over-the-air signal of KXMC reaches portions of the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
