The contract extension will put team-produced programs (and preseason games) on KSHB/41 through 2030.
The Kansas City Chiefs have announced their broadcast partnership with Kansas City television station KSHB/41 has been extended through the 2030 season.
This means that the team’s preseason games (and other Chiefs-related content owned by the team’s in-house 65 Toss Power Trap production company) will continue to appear on KSHB-41 and its sister station KMCI-38.
In an official statement, Kathleen Choal — regional vice-president for The E.W. Scripps Company and general manager of KSHB and KMCI — spoke about the new deal.
“It is such an exciting and historic time for Chiefs Kingdom — for the fans, the team and the entire region. The Chiefs are one of the premier sporting brands in the country — if not the world — and to continue to build on our strong partnership for several years to come speaks to KSHB 41’s commitment to be the best home for local sports in Kansas City.”
Team president Mark Donovan also released a statement.
“We are thrilled to extend our local broadcast agreement and make KSHB 41 the home of the Chiefs for years to come. KSHB has delivered Chiefs preseason football games, as well as other content, programs and coverage to Chiefs Kingdom throughout the most unique and unprecedented era of franchise history, and we look forward to working with them to build on that for our fans.”
The team first established this relationship with a 2019 deal that ran through the just-concluded 2024 season.
We expect that later this spring, KSHB will announce 2025’s complete Chiefs programming lineup.
