KCTV

KCTV is the CBS-affiliated television station serving Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 24 (virtual channel 5.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on East 31st Street in Kansas City, Missouri's Union Hill section (adjacent to the studios of PBS member station KCPT). Owned by Meredith Corporation, KCTV is sister to MyNetworkTV affiliate KSMO-TV (channel 62) and the two outlets share studios on Shawnee Mission Parkway (U.S. 56 / U.S. 169) in Fairway, Kansas.

The station can also be seen on Time Warner Cable and SureWest channel 3, and AT&T U-verse channel 5. There is a high definition feed provided on SureWest digital channel 620, Time Warner Cable digital channel 1003 and AT&T U-verse channel 1005. Syndicated programming on the station includes Inside Edition, Without a Trace, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, CSI: Miami, Criminal Minds and Scrubs. As the Saint Joseph market does not have an CBS affiliate of its own, KCTV serves as a default affiliate for the area as its transmitter provides a city-grade signal in St. Joseph proper, and it is available on cable and satellite in the area.
