KXEN (1010 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The station is owned by Louis Eckelkamp, through licensee East Central Broadcasting, LLC, and operated by Ellis Media & Broadcasting.[2]
KXEN's studios and offices are on Hampton Avenue in St. Louis.[3] Its transmitter is located near the Interstate 255/Illinois Route 255/Interstate 270 intersection in Pontoon Beach, Illinois.
It used to carry a religious radio format, with most of the hours sold to national and local Christian radio hosts.
KXEN broadcasts in the daytime at 160 watts. Because AM 1010 is a Canadian clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A stations CFRB in Toronto and CBR in Calgary, KXEN must reduce power at night to 14 watts to avoid interference. KXEN uses a non-directional antenna at all times. Programming is simulcast on FM translator K264CY at 100.7 MHz.
