KSMO-TV, virtual channel 62 (UHF digital channel 47), is a MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station serving Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas, United States. The station is owned by the Meredith Local Media subsidiary of the Meredith Corporation, as part of a duopoly with CBS affiliate KCTV (channel 5). The two stations share studio facilities located on Shawnee Mission Parkway (U.S. 56/U.S. 169) in Fairway, Kansas; KSMO maintains transmitter facilities located in Independence, Missouri. On cable, KSMO is available on Comcast, Charter Communications and SureWest channel 10, and AT&T U-verse channel 62.
KSMO also serves as the default MyNetworkTV affiliate for the Saint Joseph market, which borders the northern portions of the Kansas City Designated Market Area, as that market does not currently have an affiliate of the programming service. The station is available in that market on cable providers (including Suddenlink Communications) and on satellite via DirecTV and Dish Network; its transmitter also produces a city-grade signal that reaches Saint Joseph proper and rural areas in the market's central and southern counties. Since KNPG-LD (channel 21) converted into an NBC affiliate on November 1, 2016, giving the market over-the-air access to four of the six major broadcast networks, KSMO-TV and sister station KCTV are the only remaining Kansas City-based stations that act as default carriers of networks not currently affiliated with either of Saint Joseph's four existing commercial television stations.
