We sincerely apologize for the prolonged disruption to your service as we completed the installation of our new transmitter.
While our crew worked diligently, we encountered unexpected technical challenges and weather delays, which extended the timeline. Throughout this process, safety and precision remained our highest priorities.
We are excited to confirm that we expect to be fully restored and back to normal service before the Thanksgiving holiday.
These essential upgrades were performed to strengthen our infrastructure and will significantly improve reception across our entire viewing area. This investment ensures we can deliver a stronger, more reliable signal for the next 20 years and beyond.
Thank you for your incredible patience and understanding. We value your viewership and look forward to delivering quality programming once again.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and keep up with us by following Kansas City PBS on Facebook and Instagram.
Troubleshooting Tips:
During the upgrade, we reduced our power which may have caused disruption in areas on the outskirts of a broadcast reach.
The most affected are those north of I-70. Liberty, North Kansas City, Kearney, Cameron, Platte City, and Gladstone are not in the coverage pattern of our aux antenna and won’t be able to pick us up. The aux antenna is at lower power and won’t quite reach Pleasant Hill, Harrisonville, Lawrence, Odessa, or Greenwood. Blue Springs, Independence, Lees Summit, Grain Valley, Overland Park, and Raytown should be able to pick us up depending on their antenna location.
If you are experiencing broadcast disruptions, please rescan.
If you continue to experience broadcast disruptions please explore the below viewing alternatives in the meantime.
Viewers can tune to our ATSC 3.0 signal if they have a Next Gen compatible TV or tuner. That signal remains at full power.
