KOAM-TV is the CBS affiliate in the Pittsburg, Kansas / Joplin, Missouri market. It is licensed to Pittsburg and its transmitter is located near Columbus, Kansas.

History

KOAM-TV first signed on December 13, 1953 as an affiliate of all 4 networks. It was owned by Lester Cox and Vic Baxter along with KOAM-AM 860 (now KKOW). Its affiliations have changed several times: in 1955, DuMont went off the air, in 1953 KSWM-TV (now KODE-TV) signed on as a CBS affiliate, and in 1967 KUHI-TV signed on as a CBS affiliate, leaving KODE as a sole ABC affiliate and KOAM as a sole NBC affiliate.

In 1983, KOAM swapped affiliations with what was then KTVJ (formerly KUHI and now KSNF), and became a CBS affiliate.

KOAM's digital signal on channel 13 signed on in 2001.

"NBC Nightly News" Anchor Brian Williams got his start at KOAM-TV.

"Wheel of Fortune" is currently on KOAM. "Jeopardy!", however, airs on KODE, making Joplin/Pittsburg another market to carry both shows on separate stations (traditionally, both shows air on the same channel).
