Prior to KNDX/KXND's inception, cable television subscribers in Bismarck and Minot received now-defunct Foxnet on cable for Fox programming, while areas east of Bismarck received Fox from KJRR in Jamestown.
A financial crisis led KXLI and KXLT to go off the air at the end of 1988 (KTMA also teetered financially for a time while KVNJ became Fox affiliate KVRR).

In the late 1980s, KXLI attempted to create the Minnesota Independent Network (MIN) along with Twin Cities station KTMA (now WUCW), KVNJ-TV (now KVRR) in Fargo, North Dakota and KXLT-TV in Rochester.

KXJB was one of only two CBS stations not to air the Late Show with David Letterman when it premiered, though Fox affiliate KVRR aired The Late Show until KXJB began airing it in 1994.
