KGCS relocation postponed by weather conditions
JOPLIN, Mo. — Weather is causing some delays for KGCS at MSSU as it tries to relocate its antenna transmitter closer to campus.
The original plan was to temporarily take the TV station off air April 22 for a few days while the equipment is moved. The weather has gotten in the way of the relocation process. As of now, crews haven't even started the process of relocating the transmitter and aren't sure when it will happen.

University station to temporarily go off-air for equipment move
'It gets really muddy, so and you can't climb a tower in a severe weather situation or a thunderstorm where there might be lightning, so we have had a bit of a weather delay. But weather permitting, the antenna will come down and go back up on campus at a tower here,' said Lisa Olliges Green, MSSU KGCS News General Manager.
Once they get the okay from the crews working on moving on that, they will have a scheduled outage for about four days.
After the work is complete, the TV station will go back to its normal scheduled programming.
If you still want to watch KGCS programs while they are off air, then you can watch it on their YouTube channel.
