KUMV-TV (channel 8) is atelevision stationlicensed toWilliston, North Dakota, United States, affiliated withNBC andFox. Owned byGray Media, the station maintains a news studio and advertising sales office at the intersection of Main Street (US 2 BUS) and 6th Street East in Williston, and its transmitter is located west of the city near the North Dakota–Montana border.

KUMV is part of the four-stationNBC North Dakota regional network of NBC affiliates in central and western North Dakota, originating fromflagship stationKFYR-TV (channel 5) inBismarck. The NBC North Dakota network relays NBC network and other programming from KFYR across central and western North Dakota, as well as bordering counties in Montana andSouth Dakota. The four stations along with fellow NBC affiliateKVLY-TV inFargo often share news stories.Master control and some internal operations of KUMV are based at KFYR's facilities on North 4th Street and East Broadway Avenue in downtown Bismarck. The four stations are counted as a single unit forratings purposes.

KUMV operates as asemi-satellite ofKMOT (channel 10) inMinot. KMOT is itself a semi-satellite of KFYR-TV in Bismarck, which also has semi-satelliteKQCD-TV(channel 7) inDickinson. KUMV identifies itself as a separate station in its own right, but clears all network andsyndicated programming as provided through KMOT. However, KUMV airs local news inserts into KMOT's weeknight newscasts, as well as separate commercial inserts andlegal identifications. The Montana viewing portion of KUMV's coverage area is within theMountain Time Zone, and the station's prime time schedule starts at 6 p.m. rather than the usual 7 p.m. for the time zone.

The over-the-air signal of KUMV reaches portions of theCanadian province ofSaskatchewan, but is no longer available on any cable systems there. KUMV is also carried in theGlendive, Montana market through cable television; and until 2013, it operated atranslator,K13PL in that city.CBS affiliateKXGN-TV in Glendive also had adigital subchannel carrying NBC programming, but it was not associated with KUMV and aired separate programming that included newscasts fromBillings NBC affiliateKULR-TV. That affiliation ended in 2024.

History

[edit]

KUMV-TV signed on February 6, 1957, after Meyer obtained the construction permit on July 18, 1956.[2] It was a semi-satellite of KFYR for a year. KMOT signed on January 23, 1958, as the third station in the Meyer group, and KUMV became a semi-satellite of KMOT.

UntilKBMY/KMCY signed on in 1986, the Meyer stations carried a secondary affiliation withABC. UntilKXMD-TV signed on in 1969, KUMV carriedCBS on a per-program basis.

In the late 1970s, KUMV became one of the first stations to be transmitted via terrestrial cable television into most ofSaskatchewan; it even maintained a sales office inSaskatoon, as did KXMD andKFBB-TV, the ABC affiliate inGreat Falls, Montana. This arrangement continued until early 1985, when the three North Dakota network affiliates were replaced byCANCOM feeds of theDetroit stations by Saskatchewan cable providers who felt the switch would improve signal quality.[3]

The Meyers sold off their broadcast holdings in 1997, with the television stations going toSunrise Television Corporation. Sunrise sold them to The Wicks Group of Companies ofNew York City in 2002.

Hoak Media bought KFYR-TV, KMOT, KUMV, and KQCD in July 2006, as well asKVLY-TV inFargo andKSFY inSioux Falls, South Dakota and its satellite stations. On November 17, 2006, the sale was approved by the FCC.

KUMV began broadcastingdigital-only on February 16, 2009.[4]

KUMV picked upMeTV in April 2013, with an official launch date of May 1, 2013.[5]

On November 20, 2013, Hoak announced the sale of most of its stations, including KUMV-TV, toGray Television. Gray initially planned, through Excalibur Broadcasting, to also acquire Fox affiliateKXND and its Williston translator from Prime Cities Broadcasting and operate it under ashared services agreement, which would have made it a sister station to KUMV.[6] On March 25, 2014, Prime Cities Broadcasting requested that the FCC dismiss the sale of KXND to Excalibur;[7] Gray would instead acquire the non-license assets of KXND, as well as the license of Williston repeater KXND-LP.[8] The sale of the Hoak stations was completed on June 13;[9] at that time, Gray shut down KXND's full-power signal and moved Fox programming to the second digital subchannel of KUMV.[10]

Newscasts

[edit]
Further information:KFYR-TV § News operation

KUMV airs its own newscasts from Monday through Friday at 6 and 10 p.m. The first 10 minutes (which includes regional news and weather) originate at KMOT. KUMV has its own news and sports anchor who fill the remaining 20 minutes. Weekend newscasts are simulcast from KFYR.

From 2002 to 2007, KMOT was forced to cut its newscasts to 20 minutes while simulcasting the first 10 minutes of KFYR-TV's 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts, much as KUMV does now. In January 2007, KMOT began airing full 30-minute newscasts at 6 and 10 p.m. once again. It also added a weatherman and photographer/reporter to the staff.

The stations occasionally share stories with co-owned KVLY-TV. The five stations simulcast major North Dakota sporting events and statewide political debates under the NBC North Dakota brand name and share certain equipment, such as remote broadcasting vehicles. On April 30, 2012, NBC North Dakota began broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition.[11]

NBC North Dakota has long dominated the ratings in western North Dakota as a whole; the main stations and their semi-satellites count as one station for ratings and regulatory purposes. However, KMOT has spent most of its history as a distant runner-up toKXMC-TV in the northern half of the market.

The Fox-affiliated subchannel debutedWest Dakota Fox News at Nine during October 2014, originating from KFYR's studios in Bismarck.

Analog-to-digital conversion

[edit]

KUMV-TV shut down its analog signal, overVHF channel 8, on February 16, 2009, the day prior to the original date on which full-power television stations in the United States were set totransition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later rescheduled for June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transitionUHF channel 52, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition, to its analog-era VHF channel 8 for post-transition operations.[13]
