KCTV5 news opens

After “updating” KMBC, I stuck to Kansas City to begin my wave of updating Meredith’s TV stations, beginning with their longtime station KCTV. To distinguish it from KCTV in North Korea, I added the “5” in the title.

Also appropriate that I am uploading this on Super Bowl Sunday. Let’s go, Chiefs!
