One of the oldest television stations west of the Mississippi River is being pulled by its local cable provider.

Officials say negotiations between WIBW-TV and Cox Cable have reached a stalemate.

WIBW-TV, the second television station licensed in Kansas, debuted on November 15, 1953. It was originally owned by the family of the late Senator Arthur Capper.

Although Topeka was originally part of the Kansas City market, the Cappers persuaded the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to make Topeka its own market.

The station is currently owned by Gray TV.

According to an exchange with the company on social media, Cox continues “working towards reaching an agreement with Gray TV. We’ll continue to negotiate in good faith w/Gray TV for a fair exchange of value.”
