 For the 2012 "Show of Strength", the MDA dropped KODE-TV in Joplin, Missouri from the Love Network in May, stating that the market was too small for the event (KODE-TV would air the 2013 telethon as part of the broadcast's move to a network-televised broadcast on ABC).In nearby Springfield, Missouri, KSPR broadcast the show after years of telethon coverage by KOLR.In addition, KTLA in Los Angeles replaced KCAL-TV.
