Fifty Years of KCPT: What Does KCPT Mean to You? Part Three

To mark KCPT's 50th birthday, we’ve asked 50 viewers to tell us what KCPT means to them. We leave you this week with more of YOUR creative messages.

Throughout Janaury we’ve been celebrating KCPT’s 50th birthday on The Local Show. Did you know, by the way, our station’s original licensee was the Kansas City Missouri School District and the Kansas City, Missouri School Board?

KCPT Public Television is 50 years old. As we mentioned last week, in the spirit of turning 50, we recently invited 50 of our viewers to tell us what KCPT means to them. Our only request was to write it on a sign with a marker in 5 words or less. The only exception to the rule: Figure out a way to show your five words more creatively. Here are some of the responses from your friends and neighbors as we recorded them around the metro.

What does KCPT mean to you? Can you tell us in five words or less on a sign or in some other creative way? Send a link to your video or email a photo to The Local Show. We’ll show you more of these on next week’s program.

Here is a look back to 1983…
