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.

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.
