Located inside the Missouri State Capitol Building and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the bureau will deliver live television broadcasts and exclusive news coverage and digital reports to 2.5 million viewers in Nexstar’s four Missouri television markets: St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Joplin.

“Our local news reporters will be on the scene as Missouri’s lawmakers debate and vote on critical issues, reporting live from the capital.
"Nexstar journalists will be there when news breaks, talking directly with lawmakers about the latest legislation being enacted and its impact on ordinary Missourians. Finally, this bureau also enables us to produce exclusive special reports and investigative stories about important statewide issues.”
The bureau officially opened Wednesday, in time for the start of the 2020 Missouri Legislative Session. It will provide news coverage on the following Nexstar television stations and digital platforms:
St. Louis, MO (DMA #23) on KTVI (FOX) and KPLR (CW) o Fox2now.com

“Nexstar’s Missouri State Capitol News Bureau gives us the ability to provide exclusive content to the individual communities we serve across the ‘Show-Me’ state,” said Tim Busch, Nexstar Broadcasting’s President. “We can respond directly to the interests of our local viewers, ask the tough questions of state lawmakers, and deliver broadcast and digital news content on the issues that matter most to the 2.5 million Missourians served by Nexstar stations.”
