Media

Minot has several media outlets but little local content. KXMC-TV and the Minot Daily News, and to a lesser extent, KMOT-TV, are somewhat active in collecting local news, while KCJB-AM, and KHRT-AM have some local news content, but do not actively collect it.

Aside from local news programming, virtually no mass media content originates from Minot, and local media tends to rebroadcast and republish network and wire reports rather than maintain a strong local focus.

Clear Channel has been blamed for placing its stations on autopilot and resulting failure to warn area residents not to go outside when an ammonia tanker derailed on 18 January 2002. One man died and dozens were injured attempting to flee the area while Clear Channel continued to play its satellite feeds.
