[edit] History

KSLG began broadcasting in 1927 as KWK-AM. KWK was the Mutual Broadcasting System affiliate in St. Louis for most of its existence, until August, 1969, when the station switch from standards to an R&B format. In 1973, the station went off the air until late-1978, when it returned as a Top 40 station, and in March, 1979, it began simulcasting with WWWK-FM (106.5). The two stations kept simulcasting until KWK-AM became KGLD (an oldies station) in June, 1984. On January 1, 1992, KGLD changed from an oldies station to all-sports KASP-FM. The station went back to simulcasting with 106.5 FM (which had since become WKBQ-FM) in 1993. After eleven years of using various formats, including gospel music, KSLG switched to its current format.
