Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod closer to selling KFUO-FM
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
08/16/2009The board of directors of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod will debate selling radio station KFUO-FM when it meets this week, with the fate of classical music broadcasting in St. Louis hanging in the balance.
The leading candidate to buy KFUO (99.1 FM) appears to be Joy FM, a listener-supported Christian contemporary station. A sale to Joy would rebuff a group of local civic leaders who raised money to buy the station and keep it playing classical music.
