KNPG-LD, virtual channel 21 (UHF digital channel 16), is a NBC-affiliated television station located in Saint Joseph, Missouri, United States. The station is owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company, and is a sister station to Fox affiliate (and the company's television flagship) KNPN-LD (channel 26) and Telemundo affiliate KBJO-LD (channel 30). The three stations share studio facilities located out of News-Press & Gazette's company headquarters (which also house operations for the St. Joseph News-Press and local news and weather channel News-Press NOW) on Edmond Street and Interstate 29 in downtown Saint Joseph; KNPG-LD maintains transmitter facilities located between South 16th and Duncan Streets (adjacent to U.S. 36), just southeast of downtown Saint Joseph.
Its LD2 subchannel is affiliated with The CW through its programming feed The CW Plus, which formerly aired on the station's main channel from July 2012 until its conversion into an NBC affiliate in November 2016; its on-air branding, St. Joseph CW 6, is derived from the station's cable placement on Suddenlink Communications channel 6.
