Радио KFNS-AM (Sports Talk 590 The Fan)

KFNS is an AM radio station in Wood River, Illinois, located at 590 kHz. KFNS's programming is targeted to the St. Louis metropolitan area with studios in Webster Groves, Missouri.

KFNS first went on the air circa 1961, as WBBY. WBBY served the Wood River, Illinois area with local news, sports and other programming. In 1965 call letters were changed to WRTH and the easy listening music format became among the most highly rated stations in St. Louis. Among the most well-known announcers were Grant Horton, Paul Warner, Frank Akers, Jim Scanlan and Ed Goodman. The station continued playing musical standards all the way until September, 1988, when WRTH became WKLL, with an all-oldies (50s and 60s Top 40 hits) format. In 1990, the format changed again to an all-business news format under the call-letters WCEO. A year later, the standards were back as WCEO became KEZK-AM. The most recent change occurred when KEZK-AM became KFNS, going from standards to its current sports-talk format on April 5, 1993. KFNS is now the Sporting News Radio affiliate for Greater St. Louis.
