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. KGCS relocation postponed by weather conditions MSSU's World Music and Cuisine Festival celebrates global culture 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. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

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. KGCS-TV operates as a part of the Department of Communication at MSSU, providing educational programming and hands-on experience for students Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
