KFBD-FM (97.9 FM) is a radio station licensed to Waynesville, Missouri, United States. The station is currently owned by Alpha Media, through licensee Alpha Media Licensee LLC.[2]
KFBD-FM and its AM sister station, KJPW, are the dominant news radio providers in the Pulaski County area, which includes Fort Leonard Wood, Waynesville, and St. Robert.
The stations compete with the only other station broadcasting from Pulaski County, KFLW Radio, owned by the Lebanon Daily Record and working locally from the St. Robert offices of the Pulaski County Mirror weekly newspaper.
Gary Knehans was honored by the Waynesville City Council on Sept. 19, 2013, for fifty years of service as a reporter with the radio station. Knehans was hired by the original owners of the radio station about half a year after it went on the air, originally with the call letters KJPW, and now serves as operations manager for KJPW/KFBD as well as two other stations.
