"...called the station 'St. Louis' Xmas Gift to the World'". Did he really say Xmas, or is this just an abbreviation?--jcarkeys 04:25, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rush Limbaugh is in fact NOT the only show not produced locally on KMOX. "Jay Severin Has Issues" is primary among them, although the KMOX Radio Theatre also includes content produced elsewhere. Whether these programs are significant enought to be included is another matter, however. Badbilltucker 14:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jay Severin's program is no longer on KMOX since his syndication deal ended in failure in the fall of 2006. Dbm

KMOX -- the Christmas thing.

Even though the story is that the X in KMOX stands for Christmas, since they started broadcasting on Christmas day, I have always been suspicious that it really stands for "Transmission", as in Xmit. If the station wanted KVSL, but the Federal Radio Commission "assigned" KMOX, it sounds like the station didn't get to tell the FRC what it wanted.

A more plausible explanation is that the FRC assigned KMOX to mean K (west of the Misssissippi), MO - Missouri, and X, as in Missouri Transimission. This would make some sense since it would be the biggest transmitter in the state. I suspect that when they realized their first transimission day would come around Christmas time, they station decided to start exactly on Christmas, and declare the X to mean Xmas, to start a nice legend.

But I don't know for sure. I need a credible source to confirm.
