KCTV

KCTV, virtual channel 5 (UHF digital channel 24), is a CBS-affiliated television station serving Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas, United States. The station is owned by the Meredith Corporation, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV affiliate KSMO-TV (channel 62). The two stations share studio facilities located on Shawnee Mission Parkway (U.S. 56/U.S. 169) in Fairway, Kansas; KCTV maintains transmitter facilities located on East 31st Street in the Union Hill section of Kansas City, Missouri (adjacent to the studios of PBS member station KCPT (channel 19)).

On cable, the station is available on Time Warner Cable and SureWest channel 3, and Google Fiber and AT&T U-verse channel 5. As the Saint Joseph market does not have a CBS affiliate of its own (as original CBS affiliate KQTV became a full-time ABC affiliate in 1967), KCTV serves as a default affiliate for the area as its transmitter provides a city-grade signal in St. Joseph proper; it is also available on cable and satellite providers in that market.
