KSNF is the NBC affiliate for the Joplin, Missouri-Pittsburg, Kansas television market, the 145th DMA. KSNF broadcasts its analog signal on UHF channel 16 and its digital signal on UHF channel 46. Its transmitter is located in Joplin.
History
The station first signed on as CBS affiliate KUHI-TV on December 2, 1967, changing its call letters to KTVJ (Television of Joplin) in 1974. It swapped affiliations with KOAM-TV in 1980 and became an NBC affiliate. The owners of the Kansas State Network (KSNW) bought the station in 1982, changing the calls to KSNF, but the station did limited simulcasting with KSNW. KSN then sold KSNF to Price Communications in 1987, but the station continued the partial simulcast with KSNW. It stopped simulcasting KSNW completely after George Lilly (SJL Communications) acquired the KSN stations and, in a cost cutting effort, cut the microwave links to KSNT and KSNF. The Nexstar Broadcasting Group acquired the station in 1998, with its digital signal on channel 46 signing on in 2003. KSNF was the first station in the Joplin-Pittsburg market to broadcast on the UHF band, which as a result, is where the first set of call letters, KUHI (K Ultra HIgh Frequency), came from. In 2002 it was announced KSNF and ABC affiliate KODE would merge, with building expansion planned at the KSN studios. Although some departments did in fact move to KSNF, the process has not yet been completed, leaving the Joplin market as the only one of the several Nexstar-owned duopolies to have failed to completely merge.News/Station Presentation
