Matt Flener KMBC-TV
KMBC-TV, also known as Channel 9 is a television station in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. The station is affiliated with ABC and is owned by Hearst Television alongside CW affiliate KCWE or channel 29. The two stations share studios on Winchester Avenue in the Ridge-Winchester section of Kansas City, Missouri, but KMBC-TV’s transmitter is located in the city’s Blue Valley section.
Channel 9 also serves as an alternate ABC affiliate for the St. Joseph market. Its transmitter also produces a city-grade signal that reaches St. Joseph proper and rural areas in the market’s central and southern counties. Also, KMBC is available in that market on select cable providers as a secondary ABC outlet to KQTV or channel 2. KQTV has served as the network’s official St. Joseph station since it became a full-time affiliate in June 1967; KMBC-TV’s near-ubiquitous cable distribution in St. Joseph dates back to KQTV’s former status as a primary CBS affiliate from its September 1953 sign-on until the former KFEQ-TV disaffiliated from that network in 1967. During that period, the station supplemented its CBS offerings with a limited selection of ABC programs.
KMBC-TV broadcasts Syndicated programs such as The Kelly Clarkson Show and Entertainment Tonight. The station airs most of the ABC network schedule. Channel 9 preempted the Sunday edition of ABC World News Tonight in favor of an hour-long local early evening newscast that preceded the ABC prime time lineup until January 2019. Currently, the station airs some programs offered by ABC out of the pattern. KMBC has aired The View on a one-hour tape delay from its premiere on August 11, 1997, until June 2022. It has delayed ABC Daytime programs that the network intended for its stations to air during 10:00 a.m., dating back to the late 1970s. Also, KMBC has aired GMA3 since June 2022: What You Need To Know on an alternate feed at 11:00 a.m. due to the station’s noon newscast.
