Community radio station KDHX and a group of station volunteers settled a lawsuit Friday ahead of a trial that was set for Tuesday in St. Louis Circuit Court.

A lawsuit filed Friday asks a judge to force the community radio station to release many of its records, including financial documents and board communication.

John Ulett started as a DJ at KSHE-95 in 1976 when he was 19 years old. He’s about to begin his 40th full season as the Cardinals’ PA announcer at Busch Stadium.

A group of unhappy KDHX listeners and former DJs asked a court to recognize the results of a vote by volunteers to add three new members to the station’s board and remove two of its current members.

As critics of KDHX leaders seek a resolution to long-running disputes, listeners miss many once-familiar on-air voices.

About 50 KDHX DJs and other volunteers voted Tuesday to remove two board members and install three new people to the board. Station leaders said the votes have no legal standing.

Station leaders dismissed 10 volunteer DJs on Friday and told another 12 they must complete a mediation process to stay on the air. The leaders say they are parting ways with volunteers who have resisted KDHX's enhanced focus on diversity.

An East St. Louis radio station helped hook listeners in the St. Louis region on hip-hop back in 1979. That’s when New York record executives Joe and Sylvia Robinson sent the song “Rapper's Delight” to WESL. Former WESL owner Gentleman Jim Gates discusses the moment.

Ashley “Lux” Elzinga is now a social media content creator promoting medical marijuana brands after leaving her job of 15 years as a DJ for the Point on 105.7.

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, so do broadcasts of what critics decry as Kremlin-funded propaganda on KCXL, a radio station in Liberty, Missouri. Pressure is mounting for KXCL to end broadcasts that have kept the station in business.
