KMCT

For Carolina Christian Broadcasting affiliate KMCT ch. 39 serving West Monroe, Louisiana, see KMCT-TV on Wikipedia.
KMCT is the CBS affiliate that serves the Missoula, MT area. It broadcasts on UHF channel 15 and is owned by Big Sky Broadcasting. KMCT is the fourth oldest television station in Missoula. For the first time in KMCT's history, the 24-hour was added to its .2 subchannel, which has never been done with any CBS owned and operated affilliate. 
Prior to The WB and UPN networks forming The CW, former sister station KMWB had broadcast The WB programming on channel 20 with KUMT airing UPN programming on channel 35. When The WB and UPN formed The CW, KMWB channel 20 switched to independent programming before signing on with QTV in 2015. KUMT became what is now a MyNetwork TV affiliate. KMVI became the new affiliate of the now-rechristened The WB in 2016 to coincide with KMIS ch. 14 and the soon-to-be Acme station, KXIE ch. 42 as sister stations under the Dorado Media banner.  
KMCT will be the primary broadcaster of CBS Sports Montana, who will take on the role of broadcasting Montana college sports. It was previously done by ABN Montana who sold the rights to CBS Regional Sports Networks in the fall of 2016.  
This station was owned by Krueger Broadcasting of Milwaukee, WI. Big Sky Broadcasting placed KMCT on sale November 3, 2015 and Krueger Broadcasting purchased the station on January 5, 2016 to add along Billings stations KMTA and KXBM, and Glendive station KLEN.  
On November 22, 2016 it was sold to Nebraska based-Kenny Broadcasting, which made it sister stations to Glendive CBS affiliate, KLEN, and Spokane Fox affiliate KSET. This brings Kenny Broadcasting back in Missoula since they owned former sister station, KMWB (Formally KMIS-TV) from 1983-1994. On April 22, 2017, Integrity Communications bought KMCT. On September 13, 2017, after KUMT went off the air, KMCT-DT2 acquired the MyNetwork TV affiliation. MNTV's primetime programming will be aired overnight after the 9PM news it won't interfere with the primetime programming of The CW.
