University station to temporarily go off-air for equipment move
JOPLIN, Mo. — KGCS-TV, the television station out of Missouri Southern State University, will soon transmit from a new location. The campus has had its broadcast tower in place since 1988, but from then until now, the transmitter has been off-campus. Officials with Missouri Southern say because of this change, KGCS-TV will be temporarily off-air. The broadcast hiatus begins April 22 and will last for several days while equipment is being moved to its new home. 'This move will really allow us to reallocate resources toward initiatives that will enhance the student experience,' said Lisa Olliges Green, KGCS-TV General Manager. Programming from KGCS-TV is available on channel 21 via antenna and also is accessible through local cable providers like Suddenlink Communications, Mediacom, and Sparklight. MSSU tells us those concerned about the brief pause in broadcasting can continue to enjoy popular programming like Newsmakers, Behind the Bands, Window on the World, as well as band concerts, and more by visiting the station's YouTube Channel.

School board candidate forum slated
A forum for Joplin voters to hear from the four candidates for Joplin Board of Education will be held Monday at Joplin City Hall. The session will start at 6 p.m. in the City Council chambers. In addition, the forum will be broadcast live on KGCS-TV, Channel 21, and on the Missouri Southern State University Facebook page. It will be hosted by KGCS station manager Lisa Green. Candidates for the two seats to be filled are incumbent David Weaver, former board members Lori Musser and Derek Gander, and Thomas Ross. Each candidate who attends will be given time to introduce themselves and explain why they are running for a board position. Then each will answer six questions. If time permits, questions may be posed by spectators in council chambers, according to Green. Those who attend the forum must use the west entrance of Joplin City Hall, adjacent to the parking lot. Doors will be open from 5 to 7:15 p.m. Doors on Sixth Street and on Main Street will be locked. The council chamber is located on the fifth floor, which can be reached via the main floor elevator. KGCS-TV will repeat the broadcast at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 1; at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 2; and at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 3. The forum will also be posted to the KGCS Missouri Southern YouTube channel.
