History

KTBG signed on in the early 1980s as KCMW, airing National Public Radio and jazz programming. In August 2001, the station adopted its current call letters and switched to the current format. The first song after NPR's Morning Edition was "Some Bridges" by Jackson Browne.

On April 18, 2013 the University of Central Missouri Board of Governors signed a letter of intent to transfer ownership of KTBG to Public Television 19, owner of KCPT.^[2] Kliff Kuehl, CEO and President of KCPT, indicated that while some changes will take place to KTBG once the transfer is approved by the FCC the station will still maintain its current music format.^[1] It is anticipated that the KTBG broadcast studios will also be moved to the KCPT building in Kansas City. Internships at KTBG will still be available to UCM students, and K.^[2] The KTBG transmitter site will also be moved approximately twenty miles closer to Kansas City, pending FCC approval.^[3] The reported sale price for the station was $1.1 million cash, plus an additional $550,000 in "in kind" services.^[3]

Format

The Bridge began broadcasting an all-music format on December 17, 2013. KCUR, the Kansas City Metro's flagship NPR station, will provide listeners in the Metro with NPR programs like Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Weekend Edition.
