KFUO (AM)
KFUO (850 AM) is the longest continually operating AM radio station in the United States. Owned and operated by The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS), KFUO-AM boasts an array of audio resources from worship services to inspirational music to in-depth study of God's Word through programs including "The Bible Study," "Ask the Pastor," "Studio A," and "Law & Gospel."〔See (KFUO-AM Program Guide )〕 KFUO also offers syndicated short-form programs like Dr.Paul Devantier's "By The Way," Dr. Mary Manz-Simon's "Front Porch Parenting," and Concordia Seminary President Dr. Dale Meyer's "The Meyer Minute." KFUO also carries 30-minute programs each weekday from Focus on the Family.〔See (KFUO-AM Program Guide )〕
==History==
Among those designated as founders of KFUO-AM were the Rev. Prof. J. H. C. Fritz, the Rev. Richard Kretzschmar, and the Rev. Dr. Walter A. Maier. Other Lutheran Institutions connected to the start-up of the station included Concordia Seminary, the Walther League, the Lutheran Laymen's League, and the St. Louis Lutheran Publicity Association.〔See (KFUO History - STLRadio.com )〕 On October 26, 1924, KFUO went on the air for the first time, broadcasting to St. Louisans the cornerstone-laying ceremony for the Clayton campus of Concordia Seminary, which would house the station's permanent studio.〔See (Concordia Historical Institute - Today in History )〕 When KFUO officially went on the air December 14 of that year, the first broadcast originated from the attic of one of the seminary buildings.〔See (KFUO History - STLRadio.com )〕 Three years later, on May 29, 1927, the studio was dedicated.〔See (Concordia Historical Institute - Today in History )〕 KFUO-AM became a Synodical enterprise in 1927. A sister FM station, KFUO-FM (eventually to be known as "Classic 99") was added in 1948.
During the 1930s, when KFUO and KSD (now KTRS (AM)) shared the 550 kilocycle frequency, the stations petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to give them separater frequencies. At that time, KFUO was also asking the FCC to increase its transmitter power and hours of operation. As a result, the FCC moved KFUO to the 830 kHz frequency in 1940, and then to its present frequency a year later. The following September, the FCC increased the station's power to 5,000 watts from its previous 1,000 watts of power.〔See (KFUO History - STLRadio.com )〕 During this time, KFUO-AM also began broadcasting The Lutheran Hour which is still heard on over 700 stations worldwide.
In 1997 the FCC charged that the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod had violated the FCC's Equal Employment Opportunity requirements by not hiring enough minorities and women and by requiring a knowledge of Lutheran doctrine in order to be hired by KFUO and KFUO-FM. After losing appeals within the FCC, the LCMS appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. That court found, in Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod v. FCC (1998), that the FCC's requirements were unconstitutional.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=David )〕
