KHMT is a television station that broadcasts on analog channel 4 in Billings, Montana. It is affiliated with Fox and is co-owned with KSVI, the market's ABC affiliate. KHMT is licensed to the town of Hardin.

The station signed on in 1980 as KOUS-TV, an NBC affiliate. Previously, NBC had been relegated to secondary clearances on CBS affiliate KTVQ and ABC affiliate KULR-TV--an unusual arrangement for a market as small as Billings. Channel 4's sign-on made Billings one of the last markets in the nation to receive full service from all three networks.

In 1987, KOUS swapped affiliations with KULR and became Billings' ABC affiliate. In 1993, KSVI signed on and took the ABC affiliation, while KHMT picked up the Fox affiliation.

During the 1980s, Miles City's KYUS was originally a satellite of then-KOUS. Since the affiliation switch at KHMT, KYUS became a satellite of KULR-TV.
