KMOX, St. Louis is relocating, after four decades at 1 Memorial Drive...
So it's goodbye to the up-close view of the Gateway Arch, directly across the street from 1 Memorial Drive. The St. Louis Business Journal says CBS Radio "is consolidating its three local radio stations into new space at the Lawrence Group's Park Pacific building, downtown." That will put "Voice of St. Louis" KMOX (1120) in the same quarters with AC "Fresh 102.5" KEZK and hot AC "Y98" KYKY. KMOX has occupied 1 Memorial Drive since 1969, in the Bob Hyland days. It will be the first to move to Park Pacific, by the end of this year. KEZK and Y98 are scheduled to move in the first quarter of 2013. They’re currently at 3100 Market Street, in space that CBS owns. The KMOX lease at 1 Memorial Drive has expired. Market Manager John Sheehan says "I'll be able to have my entire programming team, studios, web, etc. under one roof, and all on one floor." The CBS payroll in St. Louis is about 100 fulltime and 50 part-time employees. The "Pacific" part of the Park Pacific building name comes from its original tenant - the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
