WGNU
WGNU (920 AM) is a radio station licensed to Granite City, Illinois, and serving the St. Louis, Missouri, area. Founded by Chuck Norman in 1961 and owned by him for the rest of his life, it was held in trust after his 2004 death until being sold to Radio Property Ventures, owners of KXEN, on September 26, 2007 and switching to a gospel music format.〔 Initially, WGNU was a Top 40 station, then changed to country music and eventually talk.〔http://www.stlmediahistory.com/index.php/Radio/RadioArticles/norman-knew-what-was-gnu〕〔
Former KFNS host and local broadcast hero Tim McKernan and his company, InsideSTL Enterprises, bought the weekday air time for WGNU, and the station switched its weekday programming to sports talk on August 1, 2013. The weekday schedule consists of 11 hours of local shows, as well as programming from CBS Sports Radio. The Urban Talk format is still aired on weekends.
The station briefly made national headlines when former St. Louis Cardinals player Jack Clark, who cohosted "The King and the Ripper" with longtime St. Louis radio personality Kevin "the King" Slaten, claimed Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols had performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) while Pujols was with the Cardinals. Clark had been the Cardinals' hitting coach during the early part of Pujols' 12-year tenure in St. Louis. Clark had said that he talked to Pujols' former personal trainer and said that "I know for a fact he was" using PEDs.〔http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/eye-on-baseball/23082071/former-mlber-jack-clark-accuses-albert-pujols-of-using-peds〕 Pujols responded by threatening Clark and WGNU with a defamation lawsuit, and vehemently denied that he had ever used PEDs. The trainer added that he hadn't even talked to Clark in over ten years. InsideSTL cut ties with Clark and Slaten after only seven shows.〔〔http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9553275/albert-pujols-says-sue-jack-clark-false-accusations〕〔http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:9556488〕 It also issued an unreserved apology to Pujols.
