The original application for the 89.9 mHz frequency by the Montgomery-Hyde Park neighborhood association listed the requested call letters as KLPH. That request was soon changed to KDNY, but before the station signed on, the request was again changed and the call letters awarded to the station were KBDY.
After a long birthing process, community radio KDHX finally received a construction permit in March of 1982, but did not actually go on the air until 1987. Licensed to the non-profit Double Helix Corporation, the station broadcast at 88.1 mHz.
KCWA was a low power non-commercial station assigned to 89.9 mHz with facilities in Arnold, MO. In 1999 the station was sold by the Arnold Educational Broadcasting Foundation to Missouri River Christian Broadcasting, Inc., and the call letters were changed to KGNA.
Originally licensed in 1967 at 90.1 mHz with limited power, KCLC at “Lindenwood Female College” was granted a frequency change to 89.9 mHz before it took to the airwaves and the power was increased. Subsequent changes over the years increased the station’s power to 50 kw. Licensee’s name was changed to Lindenwood University.
Licensed for construction in February of 1948, KBGS was to be a 1,000 watt AM station at 690 Kc owned by Grove Laboratories. By the time the station signed on, the call letters had been changed to KSTL
Evergreen Media gave birth to all-sports KASP in January of 1992, dropping the oldies format on the former KGLD. By November of that year, KASP’s operation had been leased to the Frischlings’ Legend Broadcasting. The company laid off a majority of the employees and negotiations began immediately to sell the station to the man who had been managing it for Evergreen. Within months, however, the station was sold to Zimmer Broadcasting, which killed off the format and renamed the station WKBQ (AM).
