St. Louis Public Radio is taking over operation of KMST. When it comes to radio...Location is everything. 100,000 watts is really impressive, but how many people are in the coverage area? It has been an uphill battle for KMST to generate enough audience to support itself. The alliance with St. Louis Public Radio and the cost effective sharing of programming may keep KMST in the public radio fold.
The obvious loss is the local programming with the exception of "Bluegrass for a Saturday Night. St. Louis Public Radio General Manager Tim Eby says, "St. Louis Public Radio officials pledge to continue supporting civic events and cultural programs in the Rolla area."
