The board of directors of Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod have agreed to sell 100kw Classical KFOU-FM (99.1)/St. Louis. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the 61-year-old classical music outlet is being purchased by Gateway Creative Broadcasting, for $18 million plus $8 million in interest over a 10-year term.
