KITE was a Kansas City, Missouri AM radio station, which broadcast from 1934 to 1942. It was initially one of four "high-fidelity" stations broadcasting above 1500 kHz, then the upper end of the broadcast band, in the 1930s, first as W9XBY and later as KXBY and KITE. It transitioned to standard operations in 1941 and changed its call letters to KXKX in July 1942, before going off the air on October 9 of that year.
