KREX-TV (channel 5) is a television station in Grand Junction, Colorado, United States, serving as the CBS affiliate for Colorado's Western Slope region. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, it is a sister station to low-power, Class A MyNetworkTV affiliate KGJT-CD, channel 27 (which KREX-TV simulcasts on its third digital subchannel); Nexstar also operates Fox affiliate KFQX (channel 4) under a shared services agreement (SSA) with owner Mission Broadcasting. The three stations share studios on Hillcrest Avenue in Grand Junction, where KREX-TV's transmitter is also located.
KREX-TV can also be seen on KGJT-CD's second digital subchannel (27.2), which allows homes with issues receiving KREX-TV's VHF signal or only a UHF antenna to receive KREX in some form.
