Programming

Power 96.5 is home to Springfield's, the Morning Buzz with Fotsch and McClain. On air for almost 4 years together, Fotsch and McClain have become the metro area's alarm clock in the morning. It was here the legend of Paul The Nixa Hellhound was originated when the show received a call regarding some weird dog-like creature wandering the outdoors near Nixa, MO. After several more calls Fotsch and McClain gave the creature a name, Paul, and has been the target of many a ghost-hunter and horror story enthusiast since. Recently, it's even caught the attention of The Travel Channel.
