KC Week in Review
September 28, 2012

Metro KC lands one of the world's most highly sought after retailers. Why KC officials now say if voters approve downtown streetcars you won't have to pay a dime to ride them. Overland Park votes to allow the open carrying of handguns. But why? Plus, truth checking the ads for Missouri Governor.

THIS WEEK: Friday, September 28th 2012 @ 7:30 pm
(Rebroadcast Sunday @ 11 am )

OP GUNS: Overland Park stuns many by voting to allow for the “open carry” of handguns in public places starting Tuesday. But why?

“FREE STREETCARS”: Why KC officials now say if voters approve downtown streetcars you won’t have to pay a dime to ride them. They’re going to be totally free, all day everyday.

IKEA: The metro lands one of the world’s most highly sought after retailers. IKEA announces it will open a store at I-35 and Johnson Drive in Merriam in Johnson County.

AKIN STAYS IN: Embattled Republican candidate Todd Akin has made good on his promise to stay in Missouri’s U-S Senate race, despite calls by top Republicans to quit following his comments about rape. A final deadline for candidates to remove their names from the Missouri ballot passed Tuesday as Akin began a statewide bus tour including a stop at Crown Center in Kansas City.

TRUTH CHECK GOVERNOR ADS: With so much attention being paid to the Missouri U-S Senate race it has literally sucked up all of the oxygen from the other political races in our region. For instance, in less than 40 days, Missouri voters will also be deciding whether they want to re-elect their governor Jay Nixon or give another guy a try. That guy is suburban St. Louis businessman Dave Spence, Nixon’s Republican challenger. Nixon and Spence are currently running ads on TV to say why you shouldn’t vote for the other guy. We truth check their ads.

KC Week in Review
September 21, 2012

Akin ahead. Plus, national attention on Kansas as a state panel weighs up whether the President's name can be listed on the ballot in the Sunflower state. The Kauffman Center marks its one year anniversary. And AEG up for sale: What does it mean for Sprint Center?

THIS WEEK: Friday, September 21st 2012 @ 7:30 pm
(Rebroadcast Sunday @ 11 am )

AKIN AHEAD: With a little more than six weeks before Election Day, a new poll out this week shows Missouri Republican U-S Senate candidate Todd Akin with a 4-point lead over Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill. We get the latest on the most competitive race in our region.

OBAMA & THE KANSAS BALLOT: Kansas attracts national attention as a state panel weighs up whether the President’s name can even be listed on the November election ballot in the Sunflower state.


AEG UP FOR SALE: The Los Angeles based entertainment corporation owns the Staples Center, but also Sprint Center right here in Kansas City. The news brought up questions this week about what that breaking business story would mean for our city-owned downtown arena which opened in October 2007 and is currently listed as the 4th busiest entertainment venue in the United States in overall ticket sales. Does the sale of AEG have a ripple effect here in Kansas City?


KAUFFMAN CENTER @ ONE YEAR: It’s been exactly a year now since the curtain opened on the much anticipated $415 million Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. The downtown venue designed by Moshie Safdie has quickly garnered both national and international attention. Many of the center’s shows have earned rave reviews and there have been countless sold out performances. But one year on, is it meeting expectations? And what about the future?

FRONTLINE: The Battle for Syria

Journey to the heart of the Syrian insurgency. Watch Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 9pm.

As fighting rages in the streets of Syria’s largest city, FRONTLINE producer Jamie Doran and correspondent Ghaith Abdul-Ahad journey to the heart of the insurgency, inside the rebel groups that are waging a full-scale assault on the forces of President Bashar al-Assad. Within “liberated zones” near the city of Aleppo, the rebels not only fight the Syrian Army, but struggle against each other in a bitter rivalry between secular and Islamist fighters. “The Battle for Syria” is an unprecedented portrait of Syria’s rebel leaders, the toll of the war on civilians, and the outlines of a potential struggle for power in post-Assad Syria. Also this hour: a look inside the House of Assad.

Watch Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 9pm.

Watch The Battle For Syria preview on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.
