Nexstar Broadcasting Group announced that it would merge with Reiten Television in a $44 million deal on September 17, 2015–a handsome return on Chester Reiten's original investment in KXMB-TV 57 years earlier. The sale was completed on February 2, 2016. As result of the acquisition, Nexstar terminated KX Television's agreements with KBMY. Nexstar signed an affiliation deal with The CW on July 1, 2016, bringing the network to the KX stations. The CW programming airs on the second digital channels of KXMB, KXMC, and KXMD. However, it airs on KXMA's primary channel in an unusual arrangement, moving CBS to the second channel. This is likely to ensure satellite carriage for The CW Plus in the market, as satellite providers do not usually carry secondary subchannel services. For years, the stations used the slogan Your Eye on Dakota, an allusion to the CBS Eyemark logo. Around 2020, the branding changed to Putting North Dakota First.
