Gray uses similar branding in other markets, including the recently-launched “Dakota News Now” in Sioux Falls.
Since its broadcast launch in November, KMNF has been added by DirecTV on channel 7 and by DISH Network on channel 11 in the four-county market. It replaced out-of-market NBC affiliate KARE (Minneapolis).
