KEXS (1090 AM) is a radio station licensed to Excelsior Springs, Missouri, and serving the Kansas City metropolitan area.
To support the station, KEXS periodically holds on-air pledge drives.
But because AM 1090 is a clear-channel frequency, reserved for Class A stations KAAY Little Rock, WBAL Baltimore and XEPRS Rosarito-Tijuana, the station must reduce power to 4,000 watts during critical hours and sign-off at night, to avoid interference.
Programming is simulcast on sister station 890 KMVG and on FM translator K225CI at 92.9 MHz.
[2] It broadcast at just 250 watts in its early years and served as a community-based radio station for Excelsior Springs, playing country music and airing local news.
