KBTW

KBTW, virtual channel 7 (UHF digital channel 34), is a CBS-affliated TV station licensed to and serving Springdale, Montana. It is owned by Vicari Broadcasting, and the studios and transmitter are located a half-mile east of the center of the town on Interstate 90 Frontage Road. 
Though TV station was founded on July 1, 2020, it launched a small-scale news department one week later since this part of Montana is very rural and they have to compete for viewership with other CBS stations via cable carriage, such as KMTA in Billings, Montana. Given these circumstances, they have newscasts from 6 AM to 7 AM, 5 PM to 5:30 PM, and 11 PM to 11:15 PM on weekdays, and a single 5:00 to 5:30 PM newscast on weekends. This schedule will remain in place until at least February 1, 2021.
