History[]

KWOS debuted, as KLIK, in 1954. In 1999, the station swapped call letters with an existing station on AM 1240, becoming KWOS.

The KWOS call sign referenced an earlier Jefferson City radio station, WOS, that was set up by Missouri Agriculture Commissioner Jewell A. Mayes to facilitate agricultural commerce.^[3] WOS was first licensed on February 23, 1922,^[4] and was deleted on March 27, 1936.^[5] The original KWOS on AM 1240 was established in 1937.
