KSNC channel 2 is a NBC affiliate based in Great Bend, Kansas. It is owned by New Vision Television, Inc.

KSNC is part of the Kansas State Network (KSN) network of NBC affiliates, repeating the signal of KSNW in Wichita, Kansas, with local advertising and news inserts. KSNC maintains a studio and transmitter three miles north of Great Bend on US 281.

It signed on the air on November 28, 1954 as KCKT, under the ownership of Central Kansas Television Co., Inc. In 1958, it signed on a satellite station, KGLD, channel 11 in Garden City. The two stations became known as the "Tri-Circle Network". They were joined in 1959 by KOMC-TV, channel 8 in Oberlin.

In 1962, after the FCC ruled that central and western Kansas was part of the Wichita market, Central Kansas Television bought Wichita's KARD-TV merged with KCKT and its satellites. The Tri-Circle Network then renamed itself the Kansas State Network, with KARD as the flagship station. KCKT changed its calls to KSNC on August 16, 1982 as part of KSN's effort to help viewers in its huge coverage area think of the four stations as one large network.

KSNC mostly airs on Channel 2 in the Cable area and expect for COX Communications which airs KSNC on COX Cable 3.

On July 24, 2007, Then owner Montecito Broadcast Group announced the sale of all of its stations to New Vision Television. The sale was finalized on November 1 of that year. [1]
