CKND-TV is a television station that broadcasts from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is part of the Global Television Network.

The station's history can be traced back to 1959, where the establishment of its predecessor, KCND-TV, was announced on February 20. It went on the air in Pembina, North Dakota on channel 12 in November 1960. However, the station depended almost entirely on advertising from Winnipeg.

In the early 1970s, Peter Liba, who was then the executive assistant to Izzy Asper, spotted an advertisement from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) that called for applications for a new Winnipeg television station. Liba suggested that he and Asper make a bid.

Asper flew to Texas and back many times over the next few months to convince KCND's owner, Gordon McLendon, to sell the station's assets. He finally convinced McLendon that a new Winnipeg station would likely hurt KCND, since Winnipeg advertisers would probably no longer be allowed to deduct their American advertising costs from their taxes for much longer. McLendon sold the station's facilities and equipment to Asper for $750,000.

In September 1974, Asper's group was awarded a broadcasting licence from the CRTC for Winnipeg channel 9, beating two other competitors. They bought property that was formerly a Safeway store on St. Mary's Road for its studios (where the station resides to this day) and moved the old KCND facilities to Winnipeg. CKND's current call letters were obtained by reversing the K and C in KCND.

During Labour Day weekend, on August 31, 1975, KCND signed off and CKND signed on channel 9 (broadcast) and channel 12 (cable), both shown prominently in the station's logo. A new transmitter had been built at the Winnipeg studios, and KCND's old transmitter was moved to Minnedosa, a small town 46 km north of Brandon, to serve western Manitoba. Together, the two transmitters reach 91% of Manitoba's population. CKND's first program that night was the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. [1]

In 1981, KCND became the call letters for KCND-FM, the first Prairie Public Radio (now North Dakota Public Radio) station in Bismarck, North Dakota.

On August 11, 1985, channel 12 returned in Pembina, North Dakota, as KNRR, a satellite of soon-to-be Fox affiliate KVRR channel 15 in Fargo. While KNRR's over-the-air signal easily reaches Winnipeg, it is not carried on Shaw or MTS TV, who opted for Rochester's WUHF, instead.

Along with the other CanWest Global-owned stations, CKND was rebranded as Global in the fall of 1997.

CKND's studios also produce Fox Soccer Report, which airs throughout the world on Fox Sports World Canada, Fox Soccer Channel, and Fox Sports Middle East.
