KEYC-DT2 is the Fox-affiliated television station for Mankato, Minnesota. The station is a second digital subchannel of CBS affiliate KEYC-TV owned by the United Communications Corporation. Over-the-air, it broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on VHF channel 12.2 from a transmitter in Lewisville. Known on-air as Fox Mankato, the station can also be seen on Charter channel 19. KEYC-DT2's parent station has studios on Lookout Drive in North Mankato. Syndicated programming on the station includes The Andy Griffith Show, Judge Judy, The Dr. Oz Show, and The Doctors among others. It also offer some paid programming from Jewelery Television.

The Mankato market is within reach of some television stations based in the Twin Cities. Although Fox owned-and-operated station KMSP-TV has an over-the-air signal that does not reach Mankato proper, it is offered locally on Charter channel 9 and in high definition on digital channel 789. Due to the cable presence of KMSP, KEYC-DT2 can invoke the Federal Communications Commission's network non-duplication rule resulting in Charter blacking out programming from the former during network shows. KMSP's newscasts and some of its syndicated programs can be seen, however.[1]
