KODE, KSN to receive programming from new Branson studio

KOLR and KOZL, the Nexstar Broadcasting stations in Springfield are opening a Branson studio and news and programming from there will be available for use on KODE and KSNF in Joplin:

The facility, which is located on Main Street in Branson, is currently under construction and slated to open in early June. KOLR-KOZL will also provide content to Nexstar and Mission Broadcasting stations in Joplin, Fayetteville and Little Rock from the space.

“The Branson area remains one of the fastest growing regions in the television market,” KOLR/KOZL vice president and general manager Leo T. Henning said in a statement. “It is a significant driver of the economy for our region. It makes sense to have a daily point of presence there. In fact, it is long overdue.”
