KXMB-TV (channel 12) is a television station in Bismarck, North Dakota, United States, affiliated with CBS and The CW Plus. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and maintains studios on North 15th Street in Bismarck; its transmitter is located near St. Anthony, North Dakota.

KXMB-TV serves as the flagship station of KX Television, a regional network of four stations relaying CBS network and other programming provided by KXMB across central and western North Dakota, as well as bordering counties in Montana and South Dakota. The three satellite stations clear all network and syndicated programming as provided through KXMB but air separate legal identifications and commercial inserts. KXMC-TV (channel 13) in Minot also produces local weather and sports inserts, KXMD-TV (channel 11) in Williston simulcasts KXMC's programming, and KXMA-DT2 in Dickinson (channel 2.2) simulcasts KXMB's programming. The four stations are counted as a single unit for ratings purposes.

KXMC is the oldest station of the KX group, and was the flagship station originating programming until master control and internal operations were moved to KXMB in the 2000s. Dish Network only provides KXMC, while DirecTV only provides KXMB, as central and western North Dakota's CBS affiliate.
