KYAN

KYAN is an independent station licensed to Wibaux, Montana, serving the Glendive area. The station is notable, not only for being in the United States' smallest market, but also because it operates eight additional subchannels. The station is owned by Confection Broadcasting.
== As a WB affiliate (1995-2006) ==
The station signed on in October 1995 as an affiliate of the new WB network. At the time, it was owned by the now-defunct Makoshika Television Holdings (the company's name comes from Makoshika State Park, a nature preserve near Glendive). Though the station aired mainly paid programs and public-domain films during off-network hours, it did air some select syndicated shows, namely Coach reruns. 
KYAN chose to air The WB's primetime lineup "live" from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mountain Time; Tempestt Bledsoe's short-lived talk show aired in the 8 pm timeslot, followed by the station's late newscast, WB Glendive Nightcap. In 1996, when Tempestt ended, KYAN began following the normal 7-9pm primetime scheduling pattern. 
The station generated controversy in 2004 after weekend anchor Peter Dunlop had a meltdown on the air. Makoshika issued a short statement the Monday after the incident:
"Neither Makoshika Television Holdings nor KYAN support the views expressed by Mr. Dunlop on Saturday evening. We have terminated his contract."
The station filled the 9 pm slot with The Parkers reruns for two weekends before Theodore Meza was named new weekend anchor.
== As an independent (2006-present) ==
When The WB merged with UPN in 2006, unlike most affiliates, KYAN chose to become an independent station. More syndicated programming was added and infomercials were limited to weekends only. The station rebranded as TV-12, changed its newscast titles to 12 News, and added a morning news broadcast, Glendive A.M., which aired from 6:30 am to 8 am.
In 2011, Makoshika Television Holdings merged into Confection Broadcasting. Under the new ownership, the morning and weekend evening newscasts were cancelled. This was "a very bad idea" and the changes were reverted within one month. 
Current syndicated programs on KYAN include The Kelly Clarkson Show, Protection Court, and Bob's Burgers. Beginning in September 2021, the station will air Nick Cannon's daytime talk show at 4 p.m.
