KSHB 41 News broadcasts 38 hours of news each week and is part of a duopoly with KMCI 38 The Spot. Owned and operated by Scripps, KSHB won the prestigious Alfred I. DuPont Columbia University Award for its coverage of the 2013 restaurant explosion and fire at a landmark restaurant in a historic Kansas City shopping district. This coverage also won a regional Emmy Award. KSHB was named Station of the Year in 2012 by the Kansas City Press Club. In 2014, KSHB won three regional Edward R. Murrow Awards and was named the Business Philanthropist of the Year. 
The station began operating in 1970. Scripps bought the station in 1977 and in 1981 changed the call letters to KSHB, standing for Scripps Howard Broadcasting. 

If you’re not familiar with the Greater Kansas City metro area, what you’ll find may surprise you – a vibrant city and flourishing suburban communities, rolling hills and tree-lined boulevards, a thriving economy driven by thousands of small businesses, tech start-ups, medical research, and headquarters of companies like Hallmark and Sprint. Ours is a community of good schools, cultural amenities, acclaimed dining (particularly our BBQ) and affordable living. Most importantly, it’s a community with a heart – friendly, easy-going, and forward-thinking. That's why Kiplinger Magazine and other publications have rated Kansas City as one of the 50 Smart Places to Live!

With more than 200 fountains trickled throughout the city, it’s no surprise that KC has earned the nickname, “The City of Fountains.”
An array of arts includes the Kansas City Symphony, Opera and Ballet and the nationally recognized Nelson Atkins Art Museum.
Kansas City residents also participate in an active professional sports scene that includes the Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, Sporting Kansas City, and the Missouri Mavericks to name a few. At last count, we had 12 professional sports teams plus NASCAR. We’re also wild about college sports in this town.
