Just over 13 months after exiting 101 ESPN, Kevin Wheeler has taken to Twitter to announce that he is staying in St. Louis. He will head to Entercom’s KMOX, where he will be a part of the station’s sports department.
Wheeler will be the go to sports guy on the station’s afternoon show. He will also host Sports Open Line weeknights beginning at 6.
KMOX has held a steady sports presence in the market for a long time. It is currently the flagship station of the St. Louis Cardinals. The team and the station have been in business together since 1926 (minus a few years apart when the team jumped to KTRS) when KMOX carried the World Series that year between the Cardinals and New York Yankees.
The station has also been the flagship of the St. Louis Blues for the majority of the NHL franchise’s life. KMOX lost the Blues play-by-play rights before the 2019-2020 season. Those games now air locally on 101 ESPN.
