December 18, 2014. On December 24, MMB changed the station's call letters to KNDF-TV; a few weeks later, on January 13, 2015, the call letters became KRDK-TV. The station began carrying Cozi TV, Grit and Escape networks upon returning to the air in January 2015. The main channel carried paid programming and required public affairs and E/I programming in the interim. KRDK rearranged its channel lineup and added Movies! and Decades networks to new subchannels in March 2015. In April 2015, KRDK-TV added Heroes & Icons to subchannel 4.1 and the comedy-oriented Laff to subchannel 4.8. The station officially launched on September 25, 2015, rearranged its channel lineup, and added Bek Sports (area high school sports in collaboration with KNDB channel 26 in Bismarck and KNDM channel 24 in Minot), Comet, and Buzzr to its channel lineup. H&I, Decades, and Movies! were removed in August 2016, and replaced by Bounce TV. KRDK took the MyNetworkTV schedule as a late-night 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. offering in May 2021. In August of that year, the station picked up rights to preseason games of the Green Bay Packers. Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: Analog-to-digital conversion KRDK-TV (as KXJB-TV) shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 4, on February 16, 2009, the day prior to the original date in which full-power television stations in the United States were set to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later rescheduled for June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 38. On August 15, 2020, the FCC licensed and approved the completion of the spectrum repack putting the station on digital channel 24. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former VHF analog channel 4. Cable carriage From 1968 until the mid-1980s, KXJB was carried by cable systems across neighboring Manitoba and northwest Ontario. This included Winnipeg, which is several times larger than the station's entire American coverage area. These arrangements ended in 1986, when the Canadian cable companies were granted permission to replace most of the North Dakota stations with network affiliates from Detroit due to complaints about poor reception. After an ice storm on April 6, 1997 caused the KXJB-TV mast to collapse, some cable systems replaced KXJB with KXMB from Bismarck, KXMC from Minot, KDLO from Watertown, South Dakota, KCNC
