Questionable Reception
Switch of Radio Stations Signals Cards' Latest Break From Old St. Louis

ST. LOUIS -- The tower at night is a magical thing, a husk of girders
that climbs into the midnight gloom before reemerging as a pulsing blue
light 476 feet above the Illinois flood plain. And when the light
flashes, it fills the fog with a gauzy azure glow. Then, as fast as it
clicks on, it blinks off and everything is still again.

There is something potent in this glow, with 50,000 watts of one of
America's most powerful radio signals booming across the heartland at
the peak of its force. In the distance, just across the Mississippi
River, the lights of downtown St. Louis twinkle, but the nocturnal
sounds of KMOX also fill radios set to 1120-AM in places as far away as
the Mediterranean and New Zealand. For the past 52 years -- and parts
of the decades before -- the signal has brought the St. Louis Cardinals
with their nine World Series championships to Oklahoma, Texas,
Mississippi, Iowa and beyond. It created so many Cardinals fans,
winning them away from closer teams across the Midwest, the South and
even upstate New York, that the club's venerable announcer Jack Buck
used to love walking through the parking garages next to Busch Stadium
before the game simply to count the out-of-state license plates.

"It's death, taxes and KMOX," said Tim Sullivan, a 54-year-old retail
store manager in St. Louis.

In a city that clings hard to its civic institutions, there was always
a comfort that two of its biggest -- KMOX and the Cardinals -- would be
married forever.

But there has been a divorce in the family. And last month, when the
Cardinals announced that, starting next season, they would be moving
from KMOX to a smaller radio station, KTRS, the gasp could be heard
from Edwardsville to Kingdom City.
