Emmis Communications’ KFTK 97.1 FM is adding two new frequencies to expand it coverage in the extended St. Louis metropolitan region.

Emmis Senior VP & Market Manager John Beck said, “Demand for our programming has increased tremendously. We are doing something revolutionary that makes it easier for everyone in the St. Louis Metro to listen to FM NewsTalk 97.1 wherever they go.”

Program Director, Jeff Allen said, “FM NewsTalk 97.1 is often the #1 talk station in St. Louis and for years we have been getting requests to expand the reach of our traditional radio signal. This move does that. You will now be able to hear our programming from the far west edge of the metro, well into Illinois, down past south St. Louis and a strong signal downtown. Just choose the dial position that comes in best on the radio where you are.”

1490 AM (1 Kw)
In addition to these terrestrial radio destinations, listening access will continue with online streaming at www.971talk.com, the 97.1 app, the NextRadio app and other mobile radio apps.
