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 would take place to KTBG once the transfer was approved by the FCC, the station would maintain its current music format.
KTBG airs a number of weekly specialty programs dedicated to music discovery from hip hop, electronic, indie, classic rock, pop, soul and local scenes.
909 Sessions are filmed at KCPT/The Bridge's studios, and include interviews and performances from artists like Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Kacey Musgraves, Lake Street Dive, Yola, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and Father John Misty.
Notable Kansas City artists including Radkey, Madisen Ward & the Mama Bear, Frogpond and The Rainmakers have also appeared in studio.
Many of the Kansas City stations must conform their signals to protect Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, near Warrensburg.
