History
KSPR originally signed on the air in 1983 as an independent station. But in a controversial move it was awarded the ABC affiliation after they dropped KDEB, which was the network's affiliate in the Springfield TV market, that would become a charter FOX affiliate. The switch took place on the Fox networks launch of October 9 1986 and has remained with ABC.
Currently, KSPR is branded as Springfield 33, "where Springfield comes first". For a short period of time, they were branded as ABC 33.
Notable former employees of KSPR include: Mark Steines, a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight and John Brown, a former anchor for The Daily Buzz.
On September 21, 2006, Schurz Communications and its subsidiary, KY3 Inc., entered into an agreement with Perkin Media. KY3 Inc., operators of KYTV, acquired all non-FCC assets, while Perkin Media acquired the FCC assets of KSPR.
Brad Belote, the executive producer for KYTV, became the news director on October 2, 2006.
