KTMJ-CD (channel 43) is a low-power, Class A television station in Topeka, Kansas, United States, affiliated with the Fox network. It is owned by Nexstar Media Group alongside NBC affiliate KSNT (channel 27); Nexstar also provides certain services to dual ABC/CW+ affiliate KTKA-TV (channel 49) under joint sales and shared services agreements (JSA/SSA) with Vaughan Media, LLC. The stations share studios on Northwest 25th Street (US 24), near the unincorporated community of Kiro (with a Topeka mailing address); KTMJ-CD's transmitter is located along Southwest West Union Road west of Topeka.

Even though KTMJ-CD operates a digital signal of its own, the low-power broadcasting radius does not reach the northern and eastern fringes of the Topeka market. Therefore, the station is simulcast in high definition on KSNT's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This signal can be seen on channel 27.2 from KSNT's transmitter at the Northwest 25th Street studios.
