“‘Missouri Life’ is a labor of love for all involved,” said Josh Tomlinson, UCM interim director of Broadcasting Services. “It is only possible through our partnership with ‘Missouri Life’ magazine and the wonderful places and communities we feature, not to mention our dedicated production staff."

The third season of “Missouri Life” premieres October 5. The season will focus on visits to Cape Girardeau, Callaway County, Chariton County, Moberly, Newton County, and Pulaski County.
