The Audacious Rise of KCPT: Ed Matheny, Jr.

Randy Mason sits down with KCPT's first president, Ed Matheny, Jr., to discuss the book The Audacious Rise of KCPT which chronicles Channel 19's fifty year history.

KCPT has been celebrating its 50th birthday and a brand new book charts the audacious rise of channel 19. It’s written by Kansas City attorney, civic leader and the station’s first president Ed Matheny, Jr. who had a front row seat for the station’s start.
