KBZK (channel 7) is a television station in Bozeman, Montana, United States, affiliated with CBS. Owned by the E.W. Scripps Company, it is part of the Montana Television Network (MTN), a statewide network of CBS-affiliated stations. KBZK has its studios on Television Way in Bozeman; its primary transmitter is located atop High Flat, southwest of Four Corners. KBZK shares a media market with the MTN station in Butte, KXLF-TV; the stations share network and syndicated programming but broadcast separate commercials. News programming for the Bozeman and Butte areas originates from KBZK.
Bozeman's first commercial television station, channel 7 has been on the air since 1987, when it debuted as KCTZ. Plans for it had existed for much of the decade, but the unavailability of a network affiliation and a lawsuit by local radio station owners complicated its creation and led to its near-immediate sale to Big Horn Communications, which owned KOUS, the ABC affiliate in Billings.
The station was on the market from 1990 to 1993, when the Evening Post Publishing Company, through its Cordillera Communications division, acquired KCTZ from Big Horn. Because of signal overlap with KXLF-TV, Evening Post had to run KCTZ as a rebroadcaster of the Butte station, shunting Bozeman-area local newscasts and ABC programming to a pair of low-power TV stations in Butte and Bozeman. In 1996, KWYB came on the air as the ABC affiliate for Butte and Bozeman; KCTZ switched to Fox. In 2000, this was reversed, and KCTZ reverted to CBS under new KBZK call letters.
