On August 26, 2021, Viper Communications (managed by principal owners Ken Kuenzie and Dennis Klautzer) announced in a press release that they had acquired a construction permit from the FCC to operate a television station in the Lake of the Ozarks area on channel 32. The company already owned KRMS and KRMS-FM in the Lake of the Ozarks area; and KHKU in Hanapepe, Hawaii. They shared their excitement to bring the area their first-ever television station and hoped to have it on the air by the end of 2021.
The programming on the station would be run by KRMS radio and offer local news and content, as well as four channels of networks not currently in the area with more to be added at a later date. Viper Communications announced they would start hiring more staff to assist in producing local content. The television station would eventually start using ATSC 3.0 technology to transmit a 4K picture. The owners stated, "Since we began, we have always believed in growth and the people of this area. That's why we invested in bringing the latest technology here."[3][4]
Programming includes local news and events produced by KRMS as well as syndicated programming such as Little House on the Prairie, Xploration Awesome Planet, and Bonanza.[5]
KRMS also produces short newscasts that air on multiple subchannels. Titled Lake News Now, these newscasts are anchored by local broadcaster Matt Markivee and show news highlights from the Lake of the Ozarks area.[6]
The station has a 35-mile (56 km) broadcast radius according to a Facebook post released by KRMS Radio. The station uses the same transmitter as KRMS (AM) and KRMS-FM.[7]
