KXMA-TV
CW/CBS affiliate in Dickinson, North Dakota
KXMA-TV (channel 2) is a television station in Dickinson, North Dakota, United States, airing programming from The CW. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and maintains a news bureau and advertising sales office at the intersection of West Villard Street and State Avenue North in Dickinson; its transmitter is located southwest of the city. As Dickinson is located in the Mountain Time Zone, the station's prime time schedule starts at 6 p.m. rather than the usual 7 p.m. start for the rest of Mountain Time, or in Central Time, where most of North Dakota is located.
KXMA-TV is considered a semi-satellite of KXMB-TV in Bismarck, which is the flagship station of the four-station KX Television regional network. KXMC-TV in Minot is the oldest station and former flagship of the KX group, while KXMB provides master control and some internal operations for the entire network. KXMA airs a time-shifted simulcast of KXMB in Mountain Time for most of the day, clearing all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent. However, KXMA airs separate legal identifications and commercial inserts. The KX network relays CW network programming and other programs across central and western North Dakota, as well as bordering counties in Montana and South Dakota. KXMA serves the southwestern portion of the Bismarck–Minot market.
