===Television===
Due to its proximity to Kansas City, stations from that market serve as default affiliate of MyNetworkTV ([[KSMO-TV]]/Kansas City) and default member station of PBS ([[KCPT]]/Kansas City) due to the lack of stations of either network licensed to the market. [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate [[KQTV]] had long been the only major commercial station in St. Joseph, but in June 2012, the locally based [[News-Press & Gazette Company]] signed on [[KNPN-LD]] as a [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] affiliate, KBJO-LD as a [[The CW Plus|CW+]] affiliate, and KNPG-LD as a [[Telemundo]] affiliate. This in turn was followed by the conversions of KBJO-LD to [[NBC]] affiliate [[KNPG-LD]] in November 2016 (retaining the CW+ as a LD2 subchannel),<ref name="newspress-knpgnbc">{{cite news|title=NBC affiliate coming to St. Joe|url=http://www.newspressnow.com/news/business/nbc-affiliate-coming-to-st-joe/article_48ed5f08-6859-5134-ba6b-fde5c295eb26.html|newspaper=[[St. Joseph News-Press]]|publisher=[[News-Press & Gazette Company]]|date=August 18, 2016}}</ref> and the original KNPG-LD (which assumed the KBJO-LD call letters) to [[CBS]] affiliate [[KCJO-LD]] in June 2017,<ref name="cbsstjoe">{{Cite web |date=2017-02-24 |title=NPG to add local CBS affiliate in June |url=https://www.newspressnow.com/news/local_news/npg-to-add-local-cbs-affiliate-in-june/article_37d188b5-17d1-5cc6-9ec2-7cc7f9bbe86e.html |access-date=2024-07-18 |website=News-Press NOW |language=en}}</ref> ending out-of-market reliance for major network programming.
