Money for nothin' and your chicks for free. -Dire Straits, Money for Nothing (1985) KLOU is now part of the iHeart radio conglomerate and I think they've changed their format since Tess' review. It's now "The Best Variety of the 80's and 90's" and I spent four days listening to them. Other than the too-often reminders that I can tell my smart speaker to tune them in, the music was good. Owner of a Lonely Heart, I Wanna Dance with Someone, With or Without You, You Give Love A Bad Name and Thriller kept me going while I was in traffic and heading somewhere in the Saint Louis metro area.

Unfortunately, this radio station is done…read more Playing computer generated lists of music doesn't play what listeners want. and what listeners want is what generates listener and financial support. It is only a matter of time - a very short matter of time - when the station can't generate the income to continue to pay the station's remaining staff, utility bills and even the station's director.

Due to the DJ firings and resignations that have happened over the past several months, I am…read moreupdating my review to "not good" because the current Executiive Director, Kelly Wells, and her accomplice, Gary Pierson (president of the Board of Directors) are systematically shutting the community out of their decision-making process and in fact aren't even living up to the guidelines that were set forth in the stations original mission statement and bylaws. I will not listen to, volunteer for, nor support monetarily this radio station until Kelly and Gary are gone. For more info, visit savekdhx.com.

And I listen to it and will continue to listen to it. But, seriously, I have a pet peeve. I have never heard another program where the people do SO MANY personalized advertisements for various products and/or services around the area. I find that pretty annoying. You hear a voice you are familiar with and you start listening, expecting to be listening to the morning show itself and then you realize you are unwittingly listening to a damn commercial Check it out: I TURN OFF COMMERCIALS. And this means I switch off your program a lot more often than I otherwise would.

Love the Christmas music during November and December and enjoy the classic rock (but smooth, not heavy) during the rest of the year. I have Sirius XM and could get similar music commercial free but I prefer to listen to John in the AM and Delilah at night. Great radio station!

It's a nice place to hang out in and is kept very clean. STL NPR is basically the only radio station I listen to. I love sooo many of NPR's programs (wait wait don't tell me, tell me more, science Friday) and St. Louis does a great job of carrying these programs. I've listened to other NPR stations across the country and STL NPR is one of the better ones! I'm very grateful to live in a city that had such a well funded NPR station! .....but I'm sure they could use even more funding ;)
