Newscasts
In 2000, KSHB began airing a 9 p.m. newscast on KMCI to compete with WDAF. It ended in 2003 one week after the changeover to "38 The Spot"; by this point, the newscast was called 38 News Now and had completely differentiated itself from KSHB, using different graphics, different (and drastically smaller) set, and a different all percussion theme. On August 1, 2011, KMCI began airing a replay of KSHB's 11 a.m. newscast at noon on weekdays. In addition to airing rebroadcasts of local news programming from KSHB, KMCI will take on the responsibility of preempting regular programming and running NBC network shows in the event of extended breaking news or severe weather coverage on KSHB.
