KMOX is still about a month away from the 100th anniversary of its sign on date. But that isn’t stopping the station from celebrating early.
On Thursday, November 20th (or, 11/20), the station is welcoming former hosts and longtime fixtures on the St. Louis news/talk station to help begin the celebration.
The date of 11/20 is a symbolic one, as the station is heard on 1120 AM, in addition to the 104.1 FM signal it added earlier this year.
The station shared that it has special programming planned for the entire day as it begins the recognition of its 100 years on the air.
“For 100 years, KMOX has kept St. Louis informed and connected, a legacy we are incredibly proud of,” said Becky Domyan, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy St. Louis. “We now honor the pioneers who helped build this station. They are the definitive voices and leaders who became synonymous with KMOX and defined a century of service. We look forward to building on their foundation and continuing to serve as the home for news St. Louisans rely on for the next hundred years.”
Originally signing on on Christmas Eve 1925, the station has several separate special programs planned to honor its legacy in the coming weeks.
Earlier this year, KMOX completed a move to the FM dial on 104.1 FM. The new signal is a full-market, 50,000-watt signal. Previously, the station was heard on an FM translator at 98.7 FM. That signal, however, only featured 250 watts of power.
