KMOS-TV is a PBS member station in Sedalia, Missouri, owned and operated by the University of Central Missouri. Its transmitter has an effective radiated power of 100 kW for its channel 6 frequency, but 322 kW for its digital channel (corresponding to the bandwidth of channel fifteen), with similar height above average terrain for both transmitters (about 602 to 603 m above sea level).

In April 2003, opening ceremonies were conducted for the station's new digital broadcasting and transmitter facility in Syracuse, Missouri, located about fifty miles from Warrensburg. The facility includes a 2000-foot (609 m) guyed mast, the KMOS TV Tower. Despite Warrensburg being roughly 100 miles west, KMOS serves as the PBS affiliate for the Columbia-Jefferson City market. However, Mediacom cable also offers KETC, the St. Louis PBS station.
