KMCI-TV
KMCI-TV, virtual channel 38 (UHF digital channel 41), is an independent television station serving Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas, United States that is licensed to Lawrence, Kansas. The station is owned by the E. W. Scripps Company, as part of a duopoly with NBC affiliate KSHB-TV (channel 41). The two stations share studio facilities located on Oak Street in Kansas City, Missouri; KMCI maintains transmitter facilities located at the Blue River Greenway in the city's Hillcrest section.
==History==
The station first signed on the air on February 13, 1988. Founded by Miller Television, it originally served as an affiliate of the Home Shopping Network. Beginning sometime in 1995, KMCI began carrying a minimal amount of syndicated sitcoms, cartoons and other programs, alongside HSN programming. When KSHB-TV (channel 41) lost the Fox affiliation to WDAF-TV (channel 4) and gained the NBC affiliation that was displaced by that station in September 1994, KSHB sold very little of its programming to KSMO-TV (channel 62) or WDAF. The station had a lot of acquired programming that it did not have room to run on its schedule due to NBC's heavy lineup of network programming as well as the station's new news programming commitments; most of these shows were acquired by KMCI. Early programs on KMCI included shows such as ''I Love Lucy'', ''Leave It to Beaver'', ''Tom and Jerry'' and ''Popeye'' cartoon shorts, ''Happy Days'' and ''Taxi''. In the summer of 1996, KSHB owner Scripps Howard Broadcasting began to manage KMCI under a local marketing agreement;〔(Scripps to Run TV Station in Lawrence, Kan. ), ''The Cincinnati Post'' (via HighBeam Research), March 28, 1996.〕
KMCI then rebranded as "38 Family Greats", with a family-oriented general entertainment format from 6:00 a.m. to midnight, with HSN programming being relegated to the overnight hours. More recent programs also airing regularly on KSHB were integrated onto KMCI's schedule. HSN programming was subsequently dropped from the station in 1999. That fall, KMCI began carrying weekday afternoon and Saturday morning programming from Fox Kids, after the block was dropped by UPN affiliate KCWE (channel 29, now a CW affiliate); WDAF chose to decline Fox's children's programming lineup after affiliating with the network. The weekday afternoon Fox Kids block was discontinued nationwide by Fox in September 2001, leaving only the Saturday morning block.
The station was acquired by the E. W. Scripps Company outright in 2002, forming a legal duopoly with KSHB.〔(Scripps Plans to Buy KMCI-TV in Lawrence, Kansas ), PR Newswire (via HighBeam Research), December 6, 1999.〕 That same year, KMCI dropped the "Family Greats" branding and simply branded by its channel number. Then in July 2003, the station officially became known as "38 the Spot". The station continued to run children's programming from Fox after it was relaunched under the "Fox Box" banner in September 2002 and again under the "4Kids TV" banner from January 2005 until Fox discontinued its children's programming in December 2008, following a dispute with 4Kids Entertainment, which subsequently began programming The CW's Saturday morning children's programming that same year. Neither WDAF nor KMCI opted to air Weekend Marketplace, the infomercial block that replaced the 4Kids TV block, which ended up not airing at all in the Kansas City market.
