KFEQ (680 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in St. Joseph, Missouri. It is owned by Eagle Communications and airs a news-talk-sports-farm reports radio format. The studios and offices are on Country Lane in St. Joseph along with sister stations KKJO, KSJQ, KESJ, KYSJ, and KBCT.
KFEQ broadcasts at 5,000 watts using a directional antenna. The transmitter site is on Miller Road, near Interstate 29 in St. Joseph. Due to the station's low frequency, transmitter power, and northwest Missouri's high goundwave conductuity, it provides at least secondary coverage to portions of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa during the day, including Kansas City, Topeka and Omaha. At night, a four-tower array is used to protect Class A clear-channel station KNBR in San Francisco. KFEQ concentrates its nighttime signal toward the St. Joseph and Kansas City areas.
KFEQ is also heard on a 250-watt FM translator station, 95.3 K237HF.
KFEQ carries Mizzou football and basketball, as well as Kansas City Royals baseball and Kansas City Chiefs football. Most hours begin with reports from Fox News Radio.
