KXJC was a television station in Grand Forks, North Dakota, broadcasting locally on UHF channel 25 and cable channel 21 as a CBS affiliate. The station was a semi-satellite of KXJB-TV of Fargo, North Dakota. KXJC was started in 2000 and was intended to create competition for WDAZ-TV, which is the only TV station in Grand Forks producing newscasts. Most KXJC programs were simulcasted from KXJB with local commerical inserts, though it aired its own local newscasts, The Jerry Springer Show, and Jenny Jones. KXJC signed off the air in 2003 due to low ratings on its local newscasts and also because Wicks Television (owner of KVLY-TV of Fargo) took over the operations of both KXJB and KXJC.
