KFUO-FM is located at 99.1 MHz FM and plays classical music as "Classic 99 KFUO-FM". KFUO-FM broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 100 kW. KFUO-FM is among the oldest FM stations west of the Mississippi River, broadcasting since 1948. Studios are located on the campus of Concordia Seminary [1], one of two graduate theological seminaries operated by the Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod [2]. Its transmitter is located in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.

KFUO began as a listener supported station, but moved to a commercial format several years ago.

KFUO-FM broadcasts RBDS data, which shows:

Program Service: KFUO FM
Radio Text: CLASSICAL MUSIC FOR ST. LOUIS

Future Plans

The station is in the process of being transferred and will drop its long standing classical music format and adopt a listener supported Contemporary Christian music format branded as Joy FM in the middle of 2010. A petition is on file with the FCC, alleging that the pending transfer was not open to public bidding.
