Central Montana Network

The Central Montana Network is a statewide network of Central affiliates in the U.S. state of Montana. Founded in 1967 with KMOU, all but one of these stations are owned by McLean, Virginia-based Tegna Inc. since 2019. Five of the full-powered CMN stations—KEYB-TV, KPIX, KTGH, KMOU, and KLEW—carry the typical Central subchannel list, including True Crime Network and MKTV (KMOU/KAMC doesn't carry MKTV because of KMKT and its majority stake with the station's owner, Koopa Troop Communications).
The CMN affiliates each identify as separate stations, but use a two-way microwave system to share news stories. They are branded as Big Sky's News Station.
CMN was founded in 1967 by Henning Broadcasting; it was acquired by the Columbus Dispatch in 1987.
