KNPN-LD, virtual channel and UHF digital channel 26, is a Fox-affiliated television station located in Saint Joseph, Missouri, United States. As the television flagship of the News-Press & Gazette Company, KNPN is a sister station to NBC affiliate KNPG-LD (channel 21), Telemundo affiliate KBJO-LD (channel 30) and local news and weather channel News-Press 3 NOW; this arrangement also places the four outlets under the same ownership as the St. Joseph News-Press newspaper.
All five media properties are based out of NPG's corporate offices on Edmond Street/I-29 in downtown Saint Joseph; KNPN maintains transmitter facilities located between South 16th and 17th Streets (adjacent to U.S. 36), near downtown Saint Joseph. There is no separate website for the station, instead it is integrated with that of the co-owned St. Joseph News-Press.
On March 14, 2012, News-Press & Gazette acquired two low-power digital television licenses in Saint Joseph, K16KF-D and K26LV-D from Sunrise, Florida-based DTV America 1, LLC for $72,000; two weeks earlier on February 29, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted the company's construction permit application to relocate the two stations' transmitter facilities from a tower near Mound City to the Saint Joseph transmitter and upgrade the effective radiated power for both stations (the channel 16 license would not be activated until March 7, 2013 when it signed on as CW affiliate KBJO-LD). K26LV-D was assigned the call letters KNPN-LD on April 5, 2012, before reverting to the original K26LV-D callsign on May 8, 2012; the callsign reversion was deleted from FCC authorization records two weeks later on May 23, 2012, reverting to the KNPN-LD callsign.
