Notes:

1. Many Montana stations were once affiliated with 2 or 3 of the original "big 3" networks (ABC, NBC, CBS). These days, the only one left is "5", which is affiliated with CBS, NBC & Fox. The only other stations with similar affiliation ties are KTEN ch.10 in Ada, OK (ABC, NBC, Fox) and WAGM ch.8 in Presque Isle, ME (CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox).

2. "3": Started out as a stand-alone NBC affiliate, then became affiliated with ABC after purchase by |4|, which was affiliated with ABC at the time. It became Fox & UPN after |4| did so. "3" has since became a separate station again with the network it began with -- NBC.

3. Denver and Spokane channels are listed in the cable TV section of "Channels Listed", but is listed with other over-the-air channels in grids.
