KRSD-TV (channel 7) was a television station in Rapid City, South Dakota, United States. Its programming was relayed on satellite station KDSJ-TV (channel 5) in Lead. Owned by Heart of the Black Hills Stations, the two stations went on air in 1958 and 1960, respectively. Due to serial deficiencies in the stations' technical operations, the two stations were ordered off the air in 1971 after a decade of proceedings before the Federal Communications Commission. The stations' ownership was able to delay their closure for five more years before finally shutting down in 1976.
