This station is licensed to broadcast on VHF channel 12 at 316 kilowatts and in high definition on UHF channel 43 at 1.46 kilowatts under a Special Temporary Authority, but has filed a construction permit to increase power to 1,000 kilowatts.

KODE is owned by Mission Broadcasting, however through a local sales agreement, the station is controlled by NBC affiliate KSNF 16, owned and operated by Nexstar Broadcasting Group.

History

KODE, the only station in Joplin to never change its affiliation, first began its broadcasting operation in 1954, originally as KSWM-TV (for SouthWestern Missouri). The station was originally a primary CBS affiliate, sharing ABC with NBC affiliate KOAM-TV. It became KODE-TV in 1957.

In 1967, KUHI-TV (now KSNF) signed on and took over the CBS affiliation, and KODE became a sole ABC affiliate.
