K13XD-D, channel 13 (branded as KXD), is the CBS affiliate in Fairbanks, Alaska. It is owned by Tanana Valley Television, and is a sister station to Fox affiliate KFXF. K13XD is a Class A operation, though its call sign is identical to those used by translator stations. All four stations share studios located on Braddock Street in Fairbanks, and the transmitter is northeast of the city.

History

K13XD signed on the air on August 7, 1996 as the area's sixth television station, four months after longtime CBS affiliate KTVF switched to NBC. In the interim, select CBS programming was seen on sister station KFXF, such as The Young and the Restless, 60 Minutes, Late Show with David Letterman, and Walker, Texas Ranger. The addition of K13XD also meant that Fairbanks would finally have a station for each of the four main networks: KATN (ABC), KFXF (Fox), KTVF (NBC), and K13XD (CBS), along with KJNP-TV (TBN) and KUAC-TV (PBS).
