The Current: Community Radio Returns to St. Louis

After decades on the air, St. Louis community radio station KDHX went off the air last year. A group of station alumni and new volunteers have formed a new non-profit to continue creating radio of and from their place.

LOVE of Community Radio members Jean Ponzi and Rich Reese joined Heather O’Connor and Trevor Harris for a discussion of the past, present and future of non-commercial radio in St. Louis.

This segment originally aired on KOPN 89.5fm on January 21, 2026.

I got involved in community radio back in 1990 and later worked in public radio. I enjoy listening to people's stories. Collecting them seemed like a logical marriage of my love of audio gathering and preserving the stories of those around me.
