The station is currently owned by GoodRadio.tv through the holding company Moberly/ Macon License Co, LLC and features programing from CBS Radio, Missouri Net, Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Miller, Lou Dobbs, Jim Bohannon, Gary Sullivan, Red Eye Radio and Dave Ramsey.[1]

In the early 1990s, KWIX-KRES radio's on-air staff included St. Louis-area transplants such as Bryan Polcyn, Doug Stewart, Mike Roberts and Paul Lewandowski.
This is a reassignment of a callsign. The original KWIX was a shortwave radio station based in San Francisco, California, commissioned by the federal government in World War II. It served as the basis for what later became the Voice of America.
