KAJ-TV is a television station in Kalispell, Montana, broadcasting locally on channel 18 as an affiliate of CBS, with programming from The CW on digital. The station is owned by the Evening Post Publishing Company. The CW sub channel is known as Western Montana CW.

KAJ used to be ran as a Class-A low-powered station.

KAJ started out as KPAX-TV, which went on the air for the first time in 1970 as a semi-sattelite of KXLF-TV in Butte, Montana. In 1977 KPAX built a new studio on Regent Street in Missoula.

KPAX delivered newscasts for the Flathead until 2010 when KAJ started up their own newscasts with complete news, weather, and sports. It airs only on the weekdays at 5:30 and 10:00.
