Your attribution is incorrect. There’s nothing on the KCTV5 website of the kind, and you link to a different website and claim it’s KCTV5. As a matter of fact, there’s nothing on any of the KC news stations that sounds remotely like this story.
The website you link to is based in a city about 200 miles away from KC, and given that there’s no such story in actual KC news sites, and you’re misrepresenting the source, I’m gonna have to hoist the “BS” flag on this one.
Since 1985, KWCH has held the #1 position for 6pm and 10pm News in the
Wichita-Hutchinson Plus television market. KWCH has remained dominant
since that time and Eyewitness News is the #1 news at Noon, 5pm, 6pm and
10pm.
Eyewitness News also produces newscasts on KSCW-DT 33 Sunday – Friday
7:00-9:00am, Monday-Friday 4:00-4:30pm, and Monday – Sunday 9:00-
9:30pm.
Eyewitness News produces a local Spanish language newscast Monday –
Friday at 10:00pm which airs on KDCU-DT 31.
A big part of that dominance is weather coverage. Storm Team 12 and Chief
Meteorologist Merril Teller lead the way in forecasting experience, advanced
Doppler technology and media partners that strengthen the brand. KWCH is
a partner with KFDI radio (Journal Broadcasting).
Just as KWCH is the market leader in news and weather, it’s also the leader
in community involvement. Locally, KWCH works with Goodwill Industries,
the Kansas Food Bank, the United Way and many other non-profit agencies
to assist their efforts in the community.
Broadcast Area:
KWCH-DT and its satellites KBSD-DT, KBSH-DT, and KBSL-DT are CBS
affiliates and serve the western two thirds of Kansas. KWCH-DT also
operates a “virtual” station on Cox Cable in Salina, Kansas with the ability
to locally insert news, weather and commercials. In addition to Kansas,
KWCH-DT and its satellites can be seen in portions of Nebraska, Colorado,
Oklahoma and Texas.
KWCH-DT and its satellites broadcast two signals in digital; the primary HD
signal is on the corresponding dot 1 (12.1, 6.1, 7.1, 10.1) and dot 2 (12.2,
6.2, 7.2, and 10.2), which is a 24-hour weather channel called “Always On
Storm Team 12.”
It’s seems to be a legit media outfit...not sure what the connections are to the posted source.
I live in Wichita. KWCH is a very legitimate outlet.

There is, and just updated a few minutes ago:
http://www.kctv5.com/story/26707306/kansas-city-apartment-sealed-off-after-resident-quarantined
Nothing new in the update, however.
There may not be anything on their website but I was watching their news broadcast at 10:00 p.m. and saw it reported under "Breaking News".
The link source should read KWCH. So I made a mistake. Sue me. I’m glad you’re perfect.
