KCTY (TV) operated on channel 25 in the Kansas City market from June 9, 1953 to February 28, 1954. The studio for channel 25 was located in the Pickwick Hotel in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, but the transmitter was located in a rural area of Overland Park, Kansas. The station was the second television station in the Kansas City area. It was originally owned by the Empire Coil Company, which built the first commercial UHF television station, (KPTV/channel 27) in Portland, Oregon. Shortly after KCTY went on the air, it was joined by KCMO-TV on channel 5 and KMBC/WHB-TV on channel 9. With WDAF-TV already on the air on channel 4, viewers had three VHF stations to pick from and not enough of them converted their sets to UHF to watch channel 25. The station was affiliated with the DuMont Television Network which purchased the station at the end of 1953〔(DuMont historical website ), Clarke Ingram〕 and operated it for only two months before shutting it down.〔http://www.mrpopculture.com/files/html/feb10-1954/〕〔(Cleveland Classic Media: November 2009 )〕 The station produced many local programs, including the children's program ''Share the Fun'' with host Sue Bowen,〔''Hi there, boys and girls!: America's local children's TV shows'', p165, Tim Hollis, Univ.
