KXJB was co-owned with the KX Television network in western North Dakota from 1959 to 1971.
In October 2016, KRDK-TV requested must-carry, forcing major cable providers to move KXJB to channel 9, so KRDK can be carried on channel 4 to attribute to its over the air virtual channel, which was the former home of KXJB prior to December 2014.
