KSHE ‘Real Rock Museum’ Now Open

Emmis Rock KSHE 95/St. Louis was one of the very first radio stations to play rock music on the FM band, and now, almost 50 years after its November 1967 birth, KSHE is the longest-running rock station in the world. Today, in honor of its half-century of excellent service to the Rock format, KSHE launches “The KSHE 50th Anniversary Real Rock Museum” at kshe95.com

There are eight wings in the museum — The KSHE 95 Audio Wing contains audio history, including classic airchecks, interviews and listener favorite audio clips. The KSHE 95 Photo Wing features galleries named “Air Personalities,” “Rock Stars” and “St. Louis Concerts.” The KSHE 95 Hall of Fame is full of videos that focus on an artist or band that enjoys a very special longstanding relationship with the station. Other wings include The KSHE 95 Video Wing; KSHE 95 Essentials Wing; KSHE 95 John “U-Man” Ulett Wing (a tribute to the 40+-year KSHE air talent); KSHE 95 You-seum Wing and KSHE 95 Collections Wing.

KSHE PD Rick Balis said, “So many talented people have contributed, throughout our 50 years, to make KSHE 95 what it is today. It’s actually amazing. More amazing, though, is the incredible listeners that we have had and have today. It’s rare. And, we cherish those relationships. The relationships are ‘generational’ — grandparents, their kids and the kids of those kids are listeners today.” Balis added, “The KSHE 50th Anniversary Real Rock Museum is a tribute to both the contributors and the listeners.” Watch the trailer posted at kshe.com.
