KMTF is a television station in Helena, Montana, broadcasting locally on channel 10 as an affiliate of The CW. KMTF is owned by The Uhlmann Company, under the license name Rocky Mountain Broadcasting Company, and managed by Sunbelt Communications Company, who also owns KTVH. The owner of KMTF is a company owned by a group of people that includes the daughter of Sunbelt Communications Company's owner and founder. The arrangement is set up in such a way so as to circumvent FCC rules regarding ownership of competing stations by the same entity. KMTF and KTVH are housed in the same building in Helena, MT, and share several resources, including engineering and production staff. Currently, KMTF rebroadcasts the CW satellite feed with minimal local branding, a practice common in low-population areas. A single person maintains the legally-required presence of a general manager, but their job consists primarily of creating the locally branded content inserted over the satellite signal.
