History

KRXL was founded by Sam & Vera Burk in 1967, as an outgrowth of their successful AM station KIRX. At sign-on, September 17, 1967, KRXL had an effective power of 52-thousand watts. This was increased to the FCC-maximum 100-thousand watts in 1986. The KRXL music format was Easy Listening for many years, but by the late 1970's more Pop, Top 40, and Rock could be heard. A format known as Adult Contemporary welcomed the early 1980's airwaves, and remained that way until the end of the decade with a switch to Classic Rock. KRXL has a consistent history of award-winning broadcasting with multiple awards from the Associated Press and Missouri Broadcasters Association in categories such as news, DJ, and commercial production.
