The first new FM station in the metropolitan area since 1955 signed on the air Tuesday, December 22, 1959.
Transmitting on 96.5 megacycles from the Continental Building at Grand and Olive in midtown St. Louis, the daytime transmission of KADI duplicates radio station KADY, which has served the St. Louis area from St. Charles since April, 1958. The new station in concert with KADY will program an hour of stereophonic broadcasting daily, except Sunday, when the two stations will program stereophonic music from 1:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
