About KFYR:
A job at our station is a learning experience unlike any you'll find in a classroom.

With over 36 hours of news on our channels each week, KFYR-TV is truly Western North Dakota's news leader. Our viewers have come to depend on our news team to be quick, fair, and accurate from the first tweet and post to the nightly wrap-up and anchor explainer. You'll get all the news, and perhaps most importantly, in a state where weather can kill you, an accurate and up-to-the-minute forecast. If you love the outdoors, you can't beat North Dakota for boating, fishing (in all seasons), and hunting. We have more golf courses, some of them world-class per capita, than any other state. And in the winter, those same courses are perfect for cross-country skiers and snowboarders.
