    LMS

    KGKC-LD (channel 39) is a low-power television station licensed to Lawrence, Kansas, United States, serving the Kansas City metropolitan area as an affiliate of the Spanish-language network Telemundo. Owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting, the station has studios on Broadway Boulevard in the Westside neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri, and its transmitter is located in the city's Brown Estates neighborhood.

    KGKM-LD (channel 36) in Columbia, Missouri, operates as a full-time, low-power satellite of KGKC-LD; this station's transmitter is located on Edwards Road northwest of Ashland, Missouri. KGKM-LD covers Columbia, Jefferson City, and other areas of central Missouri. Except for hourly station identifications required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), there is no on-air mention that KGKM-LD exists, and aside from the transmitter, KGKM-LD does not maintain any physical presence locally in Columbia. Unlike its parent station, KGKM-LD does not carry any of KGKC-LD's subchannels and has a different subchannel lineup.

    History[edit]

    KGKC-LD became a Telemundo affiliate in September 2018.[3] Prior to that, it aired Spanish-language religious programming.

    News operation[edit]

    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]

    Subchannels[edit]

    The stations' signals are multiplexed:
