KYUS-TV

KYUS-TV (channel 3) is a PBS member television station in Miles City, Montana, United States. Owned by Montana State University (MSU), it is operated as part of the Montana PBS state network, a joint venture with the University of Montana (UM). KYUS-TV broadcasts to eastern Montana from a transmitter northwest of Miles City; master control and internal operations are based at the network's headquarters in the Visual Communications Building on the MSU campus in Bozeman.

At one point known as the smallest network affiliate in the country, KYUS was a standalone NBC affiliate from 1970 until 1984, with local programming and newscasts all presented by founding owner David Rivenes. While never turning a profit, KYUS's hyperlocal focus eventually earned both Rivenes and the station national recognition. In 1984, it was sold and became a full-time satellite of then-NBC affiliate KOUS-TV in Billings and its successor station, ABC affiliate KSVI. Purchased in 1995 by Marks Radio Group, which also owned several radio stations in Montana and KXGN-TV in Glendive, the station became a standalone primary Fox affiliate, later supplemented with UPN and The WB. KYUS-TV again became a satellite in 1998, this time with Billings NBC affiliate KULR-TV via a brokerage agreement with the Cowles Company; this later evolved into an informal agreement with no exchange of money, while Marks continued to operate the station as a public service. This agreement concluded at the end of 2024, at which point KYUS went silent. MSU purchased both KYUS and KXGN-TV in July 2025.
