Profile LMS
KYCW-LD , virtual and UHF digital channel 24, is a low-powered CW -affiliated television station licensed to Branson, Missouri , United States. Owned by Gray Television , it is a sister station to Springfield -licensed NBC affiliate KYTV (channel 3), low-powered ABC affiliate KSPR-LD (channel 33) and Branson-licensed tourist info-formatted station K17DL-D , channel 17 (the latter is owned by Branson Visitors TV LLC , a joint venture between Gray [50.1%] and Market Branson, LLC [49.9%]). The Gray-owned stations share studios on West Sunshine Street in Springfield; KYCW-LD's transmitter is located on Highway FF north of Fordland .
KYCW-LD's low-powered broadcasting radius does not reach the entire market . Therefore, it is simulcast in 16:9 widescreen standard definition on KYTV's third digital subchannel (UHF channel 44.5 or virtual channel 33.2 via PSIP ), and in high definition on KSPR-LD's second digital subchannel (UHF channel 15.4, also mapped to virtual channel 24.1 via PSIP); it is also simulcast to Branson on K17DL's digital subchannel (UHF channel 17.4 or virtual channel 24.2 via PSIP).
