Just in time for MEMORIAL DAY weekend, WITHERS BROADCASTING Country KBXB/CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO re-branded from B97.9 to FREEDOM 97.9 on FRIDAY (5/27) and switched to classic Country. The station has once again picked up the syndicated BUD AND BROADWAY show in mornings, which it had originally affiliated with in JANUARY of 2021, but had stopped airing in the beginning of this year.
A post on FACEBOOK announcing the change said, "Let FREEDOM ring in Southeast MISSOURI. The all-new FREEDOM 97.9 is here! We have the very best of MISSOURI's Country legends, ST. LOUIS CARDINALS baseball, plus the return of BUD & BROADWAY in the morning! GEORGE DAVIS will get you through the day while JB [Station Mgr. JOE BOB CAMERON] drives you home and CHANDLER takes you through the night! So, when you're in the mood for 10 in a row from MISSOURI's Country legends tune to 97.9 FM or listen live at freedom979.com!"
The station's website is here, and its FACEBOOK page is here.
