About OurKC
For the past decade, KCTV5 News has done countless investigations. We’ve exposed bad guys, questionable business practices, and shady government cover-ups. In that time, and well before, we’ve supported and hosted more community events than any other station in town. We do it because we are committed to making our KC a better place to live. Now it’s your turn. Tell us what you love about KC. And what you’re doing to make our city better. Our KC. We get it. We live here, too.
