KGMO AM & FM
1550 AM KGMO broadcast to Cape Girardeau, Missouri from 1951 until 1986. Conservative talk show host and Cape native Rush Limbaugh got his start at this station in 1967 while he was still in high school (his father was co-owner of the station.) His on-air name was "Rusty Sharpe."
KGMO FM went on the air in 1980 and currently carries a Classic Rock format.

KGMO-FM signed on in 1969, initially easy listening, but soon began simulcasting the top-40 of its AM sister.
The AM spun off into a country format as KEWI in early 1981. KGMO continued as a top-40. To "lite AC" in 1988, then oldies by the early '90s, and to its present classic rock format by the late '90s.
