KBMN-TV

KBMN-TV, virtual channel 10 (UHF digital channel 32), is an NBC-affiliated television station licensed to Bango, Montana, United States. The station is owned by Tegna, Inc.

History
The station signed-on the air on July 2, 1953, as the first television station in Bango. As a primary NBC affilaite, it also carried programming from the other members of the "big-three." ABC then left to affiliate with KITY-TV, which signed-on the air on September 23, 1959, leaving NBC behind.

On June 9, 1978, KBMN-TV rose to first place, while KBMN-TV remained in third. Because of this, ABC returned to KBMN, this time as a primary affiliate, while the NBC affiliation went to KITY-TV. Also, the station promoted merchandise throughout Bango, including T-shirts, toys, and photo frames, and toured guests around their station.

In September 2002, due to popular demand, KBMN-TV reversed the 1978 affiliation swap, returning to NBC after a 24-year absence. In 2005, Gannett Broadcasting purchased the station.
