 KMOX-AM & FM in St. Louis |
Audacy St. Louis is celebrating a century of broadcasting as KMOX (104.1 FM & 1120 AM) marks its 100th anniversary today. The station has officially designated November 20 as KMOX Day, highlighted by more than ten hours of special programming featuring current and former voices of the heritage outlet, along with tributes to a dozen influential figures who helped define "The Voice of St. Louis." The commemorative broadcast airs from 8am to 6:30pm CT.
"For 100 years, KMOX has kept St. Louis informed and connected, a legacy we are incredibly proud of," said Becky Domyan, Senior Vice President and Market Manager for Audacy St. Louis. "We now honor the pioneers who helped build this station... the definitive voices and leaders who became synonymous with KMOX and defined a century of service."
Working with the St. Louis Media History Foundation, KMOX has selected 12 station pioneers for special recognition. Honorees were chosen for their longevity, innovation, and impact on St. Louis' civic and cultural evolution.
The list includes former General Manager Robert Hyland, sportscaster Bob Costas, longtime hosts Jack Carney, Rex Davis, Bob Hardy, Anne Keefe, John McCormick, and Jim White, as well as legendary St. Louis Cardinals broadcasters Jack Buck, Harry Caray, and France Laux, and iconic St. Louis Blues announcer Dan Kelly.
The celebration also pays tribute to the station's "Hillbilly Music Era" of the 1930s through the 1950s. Before its dominance in news and talk, KMOX's "National Champion Hillbillies" helped shape early American entertainment, amplify Midwest culture, and broaden the station's appeal to audiences across the region.
With its centennial underway, Audacy says the station remains committed to continuing the tradition of trusted news, sports, and community connection that has made KMOX a cornerstone of St. Louis media for the past 100 years-and the decades ahead.
