2011 Joplin Tornado
On May 22, 2011, an F5 tornado struck Joplin, MO, knocking KJIV off the air. Sister station WINT (Memphis) allowed the news staff from KJIV to use their studios until KJIV's studio is rebuilt. During the cleanup, all the Joplin stations (including both KJIV and KJPN) did a telethon to help raise funds for tornado relief efforts. On July 3, 2011, KJIV returned to their studios.
