Composite #2: 1380 KWK St. Louis, 106.5 WWWK Granite City | 1979
As confusing as it is listening to this aircheck next to the ‘standalone’ KWK aircheck recently posted, here’s a good example of how the migration of music stations from AM to FM began. In this case, later in 1979, KWK began simulcasting its format on 106.5 WWWK from suburban Granite City. They called it simply,…
Composite: 1600 KATZ St. Louis | 1979
Despite being a R&B station going back to the late 1950s, there’s really not much written history for this 5,000 watt AM station. We do know that the station was known in the 1960s and 70s as “Soul 16”, as evidenced by the header on a scanned top 20 playlist sheet posted below. Contributor Bob…

Here’s what appears to be a full-day composite of 55 KSD (Now News/Talk KTRS), beginning with Ron Morgan’s morning…
A Sample of KMJM “Majic 108” St. Louis | October 30, 1982
Exhibited here is a glimpse of what was then at 107.7 FM. The format today would be considered Urban AC, although the term didn’t exist in 1982. KMJM is considered the top rated minority station in St. Louis. A frequency swap in 1997 resulted in the station moving to 104.9 where it is to this…
