distribution
KMOX transmits via its transmitter with a constant power of 50 kW. For many years the station broadcast its stereo signal on medium wave in C-QUAM AM stereo ; but in the spring of 2000 these broadcasts ended u. a. because this stereo method on medium wave did not prevail in the USA. Nowadays, KMOX broadcasts an HD radio signal after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a license for digital and analog broadcasting (hybrid).
