Forum Communications is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1891, and employing approximately 480 individuals, it is known for its broadcast television and radio operations, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company operates newspapers, news websites, and television stations across 19 communities in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
On August 6, 2026, Forum Communications expanded its "Best Of" contests, launching a new website, bestofthemidwest.com, to bring an enhanced version of the 15-year-old reader-favorite program to the Midwest with additional feature stories. This followed news from July 28 that CBS would shift its affiliation to Forum Communications' KBMY (Bismarck) and KMCY (Minot) starting in August, with these stations currently airing ABC. Earlier, on July 23, CBS announced a broader affiliation switch in a half-dozen markets from Nexstar-owned stations to those operated by Hearst and Forum Communications. Nexstar confirmed CBS extended affiliations in 36 of its markets, but six would transition to other networks.
