KBJR operates the area's MyNetworkTV affiliate on its second digital subchannel and Charter cable channel 9. The station is known on-air as "My 9"". The "My 9" moniker is based on the channel's location on Charter cable systems, a legacy of the system's previous coverage of former Minneapolis - St. Paul independent station (and later UPN affiliate) KMSP-TV on that number.

History

Originally, KBJR DT2 was a UPN affiliate, known as "Northland UPN". The station was also available in the Ashland, Wisconsin area on WAST-LP channel 25, which was an over-the-air, low-powered semi-satellite of the digital subchannel. WAST-LP was owned by a separate entity from KBJR.

On January 24, 2006, the UPN and WB networks announced that they would cease broadcasting and merge to create a new broadcast television network. The new network would be called The CW, the letters representing the first initial of its corporate parents CBS (the parent company of UPN) and the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner. On February 22, 2006, News Corporation announced that they would start up another new broadcast television network called MyNetworkTV. The new network, which is sister to FOX, is operated by FOX Television Stations and its syndication division Twentieth Television. MyNetworkTV was created to give UPN and WB stations, not mentioned as becoming CW affiliates, another option besides becoming independent.

It was announced that "Northland UPN" would become an independent station known as "Northland 9" with a new logo and graphics for the station. In March of 2006 it was announced that "Northland 9" would become the market's affiliate of MyNetworkTV. In July, ahead of the launch of MyNetworkTV, "Northland 9" became known as "My 9". WAST ended its broadcasting in August. MyNetworkTV began broadcasting on September 5, 2006.
