KPNT, known on-air as "105-7 The Point," is an alternative rock radio station which is licensed to Ste. Genevieve, Missouri and serves the St. Louis, Missouri area. The station is located at 105.7 FM and is owned by Emmis Communications.
The station started life in late-1987 as adult-contemporary station KSTZ. KSTZ stayed on the air until March 6, 1991, when it was replaced by KFXB, which simulcatsed with 101.1 FM, WFXB. Both stations were known as "The Fox", and played adult-contemporary music. But, the two stations went their separate ways in February of 1993, when KFXB became KPNT (105.7, The Point), and WFXB-FM, would eventually become what was then 101.1 "The River" (WVRV).
The station has gone through some changes in mid-2006 by expanding their playlist, adding a Shuffle mode, creating a "My Shuffle" to the website that enables listeners to create their own 6-song playlist that will in most cases be played on air (a new MyShuffle Lunch program has been added that runs from 12:00PM to 1:00PM), and have added Rover's Morning Glory as a replacement to the Howard Stern Show, which has moved to Sirius Satellite radio.
