KPJO-LP is a low-powered television station that is licensed to Pittsburg, Kansas and serving the Joplin, Missouri television market. It is owned by Pittsburg/Joplin TV, LLC, and operated through a local marketing agreement by DTV America Corporation of Sunrise, Florida. The station is a primary affiliate of classic-television specialty network Antenna TV, and is secondarily affiliated with the MyNetworkTV syndicated programming service.

Its transmitter is located near the corner of NE Bethlehem Road and NE 80th Street in a rural section of Cherokee County, KS near Galena.

History

The station began existence as K49GR, but wasn’t on the air. It was granted a construction permit in 2002, and the current call letters KPJO-LP came in 2005. It is unknown what affiliations KPJO had between then and 2014.

In 2014, DTV America Corporation and Pittsburg/Joplin TV signed a local marketing agreement to bring a MyNetworkTV and Antenna TV affiliate to Joplin, Missouri and Pittsburg, Kansas.^[1]

MyNetworkTV was previously the only major channel (network or programming service) that wasn’t available directly from Joplin. KMYT-TV in Tulsa, Oklahoma was the de facto MyNetworkTV affiliate in the western half of the Joplin market, while the eastern part of the market relied on Fox network affiliate KRBK in nearby Springfield, Missouri for MyNet programming, but MyNet programming on KRBK was run out of pattern since 2011 when Fox programming returned to that station. The CW, on the other hand, is only accessible via cable television through cable-exclusive CW Plus affiliate “KSXF,” one of the many cable-only CW Plus and original WB 100+ affiliates with faux call letters.

In Spring 2015, the station’s original licensee, Pittsburgh/Joplin TV, LLC, has sold the station outright to DTV America, thereby making DTV America the sole license holder of the station. In addition, KPJO launched a third digital subchannel to carry the Sonlife Broadcasting Network. In early 2016, KPJO-LD4 was launched to carry FremantleMedia-owned Buzzr, featuring classic game shows. At the same time, KPJO-LD5 launched with Bounce TV programming.

Programming

KPJO-LD2 logo from its DrTV affiliation years in 2014-2015.

KPJO’s programming schedule is actually similar to that of sister station WCZU-LD in Bowling Green, Kentucky. MyNetworkTV programming is run on weeknights from 7 to 9 p.m. CT, and Antenna TV programming is aired outside MyNetworkTV’s primetime programming for 22 hours every weekday, and all 48 hours of the weekend. Antenna TV dominates the weekend broadcast schedule since MyNet does not run programming on Saturdays or Sundays. In August 2015, KPJO’s main subchannel has become the Joplin-area home to Raycom Sports syndicated broadcasts of Atlantic Coast Conference football and men’s basketball games, produced under the ACC Network label.^[2]

On channel 49.2, Doctor TV programming was previously available.^[3] Doctor TV is a healthy lifestyle-oriented television channel featuring healthy-cooking shows, fitness shows, lifestyle programs, and some classic movies, along with some programming from The Worship Network from 1 to 3:30 a.m. CT (2 to 4:30 a.m. ET).^[4]^[5] Doctor TV's national feed can be viewed online at their website.^[6] On Tuesday, December 8, 2015, KPJO-LD2 dropped DrTV in favor of Sony Pictures Television's classic movie network, GetTV.
