Although KSAX/KRWF identify as separate stations in their own right, they are considered semi-satellites of sister station KSTP-TV in the Twin Cities. The stations air ten-minute local inserts during KSTP's weeknight newscasts (at 5, 6, and 10), local commercial inserts during commercial breaks, some original local programming, and separate identifications. Otherwise, they simulcast all programming from KSTP. Combined with a large network of translator stations, they serve thirty counties in Central and Western Minnesota.

KSAX and KRWF signed-on September 15, 1987 as satellite stations of KSTP. Right from the start, they aired local newscast cut-ins during KSTP's weeknight broadcasts. Expanding their operations in 2000, the stations hired their first meteorologist. This continued in 2004 with the launch of a half-hour high school sports highlight show. The stations have won numerous broadcast journalism awards from various broadcaster associations. The KSTP newscasts originate from facilities on University Avenue on the Minneapolis and St. Paul city line.
