KGKC-LD became a Telemundo affiliate in September 2018.[3] Prior to that, it aired Spanish-language religious programming.
In addition to broadcasting Noticias Telemundo, the national news program from Telemundo, KGKC-LD produces brief news inserts called Acceso Total (Total Access) that focus on stories from the Kansas City and Central Missouri areas.[4]
On September 15, 2023, KGKC-LD announced that it had teamed up with Hearst Television's ABC affiliate in Kansas City, KMBC-TV, to provide daily Spanish-language weather forecasts for the station. This partnership is the first of its kind in the Kansas City market.[5]
