Additionally, American network affiliates broadcasting from Fargo and Grand Forks, North Dakota are available over-the-air in many parts of Winnipeg and Southern Manitoba.
Fargo Fox affiliate KVRR operates a repeater, KNRR, in border town Pembina, North Dakota; it reaches Winnipeg over-the-air.
However, its weak signal requires either a rooftop VHF antenna aimed south or being located on a high floor of a tall building.
This practice requires cable systems to replace WDAZ's signal with that of a Winnipeg station (usually either CKY or CKND) whenever the same program and episode air simultaneously.
The PBS member network for North Dakota, Prairie Public Television, has been carried on Winnipeg cable systems for over four decades by way of its Grand Forks outlet, KGFE.
Winnipeg is almost as large as the entire American population of Prairie Public's footprint, and has long been a significant supporter of the network.
After an absence of many years, Winnipeg is now home to two English-language and one French-language campus radio stations.
[33] At 4 PM on July 4, 2012, the station shut down its operation as an over-the-air broadcaster and turned in the corresponding license to the CRTC.
