Comments on: St. Louis Public Radio to assume operations of KMST https://news.mst.edu/2017/06/st-louis-public-radio-to-assume-operations-of-kmst/ Your source for the latest from Rolla Sat, 05 Aug 2017 04:27:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 By: Morgan J Bearden https://news.mst.edu/2017/06/st-louis-public-radio-to-assume-operations-of-kmst/#comment-102249 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 04:27:10 +0000 https://news.mst.edu/?p=18982#comment-102249 Is there any additional information regarding the decision to close KMST?

Who made the decision? When was it made? Why couldn’t the decision be made after the new Chancellor was selected and in residence?

The university will be well served by putting out all the facts surrounding the decision and the process.

Thank you.

But not the students

I live at the lake of the Ozarks and can’t always pick up the station but it’s always been better than the Columbia station. I too will miss Sunday morning gospel and local news.

KMST was the epitome of high quality local Public radio programming. I stopped listening to KWMU when it became just another talk radio station and switched to KMST. Mid -Missouri already has KBIA broadcasting the same, often boring, talk. This is tremendous cultural loss for our area.

working for 2 semesters at what was KMSM-FM was a significant educational experience for
my future career. At 25 cents per hour it may have been the best job ever!

Sorry to hear this loss for the current staff.

Yes I want to know about the Sunday mornin gospel music … will it continue? And how could someone obtain all that music they had or even all the “old broadcasted programs”? Maybe they could be put onto a disk set?

There is a Thank You reception for the KMST staff at the Rolla Public House today, Friday, June 23 between 5:30-8:30pm. This is your chance to show your support for the folks who have given us so much pleasure for so many years. We’ll miss them ALL terribly!

What will happen to all the people who work at our station? I am a supporter of KMST and will not want that sponsorship transferred to the St. Louis station. How can I alter the arrangement? This isn’t very much notice, incidentally, for a change of this magnitude. I am also wondering what precipitated this change, if it’s a cut in UM funding or just what. Not happy.
