KWMU moving to Grand Center
The University of Missouri-St. Louis has decided that the new home for its award-winning radio station, KWMU (90.7 FM), will be on Olive Street in Grand Center, the St. Louis arts and entertainment district.
The new three-story facility also will include space for academic programs, galleries and performances.
The University of Missouri-St. Louis has numerous partnerships with organizations in Grand Center, including the Saint Louis Symphony, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and KETC (Channel 9).
The university estimates the 27,000-square-foot building will cost $12 million. Grand Center Inc. has agreed to donate the property, adjacent to KETC at 3651 Olive Street in St. Louis.
The project will be financed primarily from private gifts. UMSL has raised nearly $4.5 million in gifts toward the facility and plans to commit about $2.5 million in institutional funds.
St. Louis' premier source of National Public Radio (NPR) since 1972, KWMU is a member-supported service of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Weekly, KWMU brings thoughtful, in-depth news coverage, insightful discussion and the exploration of local, regional and national issues to nearly 180,000 listeners. KWMU broadcasts in HD on 90.7 FM and 90.7-2.
