KMOX Celebrates Centennial Of Service
• Audacy is proud to celebrate 100 years of legendary St. Louis News-Talk KMOX (104.1FM / 1120AM). As part of those festivities, station has designated Thursday, Nov. 20 as “KMOX Day” and will mark its centennial anniversary with over 10 hours of exclusive programming from 8am to 6:30pm CT, featuring current and former KMOX talent.
In partnership with the St. Louis Media History Foundation, KMOX will also recognize 12 extraordinary pioneers whose vision, talent and dedication helped shape “The Voice of St. Louis” over the years — former KMOX GM Robert Hyland, sports broadcaster Bob Costas, former station hosts Jack Carney, Rex Davis, Bob Hardy, Anne Keefe, John McCormick and Jim White, former St. Louis Cardinals play-by-play announcers Jack Buck, Harry Caray and France Laux, and former St. Louis Blues play-by-play announcer Dan Kelly. Honorees were selected for their significant longevity, innovative contributions to the industry and deep connection to St. Louis’ civic and cultural life.
“For 100 years, KMOX has kept St. Louis informed and connected, a legacy we are incredibly proud of,” said Becky Domyan, SVP/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.”
> Special recognition will also be given to the “Hillbilly Music Era” (1930s-’50s). Before dominating in news and talk, the station’s “National Champion Hillbillies” helped shape American entertainment, championed Midwest culture and established KMOX as a station for every listener.
