On Monday, June 9, Judge Kathy Surrat-States approved the sale of KDHX’s FCC license.

The decision validates the integrity of our actions and affirms what we as an organization have known all along: that our efforts have been in good faith, in full compliance with our bylaws, and in service to our mission. 

As the court recognized, this transition allows KDHX to continue serving St. Louis and the region, while opening the door to new possibilities. This is not the end—it is the beginning. We look forward to reimagining and revitalizing how we bring our community together through innovative, community-driven media.

From St. Louis Public Radio:

“The sale is in [KDHX’s] best interest, the sale is in good faith, it maximizes value,” Surratt-States said, “and it allows [KDHX] to continue to broadcast and continue to serve the community of St. Louis and the region.”

Surratt-States said KDHX leaders followed the law throughout the process, acted in good faith and only used powers that were granted to them by station bylaws. She also said KDHX’s impending reinvention as a digital-only station is a fulfillment of its mission.

Lawyers opposing the sale did not introduce any direct evidence pertaining to efforts by the Coalition for KDHX to raise funds and develop a reorganization plan, saving references to that effort for a closing argument.

From STL Today:

Following a lengthy hearing, Judge Kathy A Surratt-States denied each objection to the sale made by a coalition of the station's supporters, plaintiffs in an unrelated case against the station, a creditor, and a group of former DJs and other volunteers called the League of Volunteer Enthusiasts of KDHX.

On each point, Surratt-States agreed with the station's lawyers that the objections had no merit or were mitigated by the circumstances.

On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, the community came together to celebrate the new Byway Discovery Center, a 4,500-square-foot visitor orientation facility that will open in Spring 2026 along the Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway. Located at 10815 Lockhaven Road in Godfrey, this center will provide recreational opportunities and generate tourism dollars. “One of our thoughts in the early days was to create a space that the public can come out and use and actually interact with the river,” said Alley Ringhausen, executive director of the Great Rivers Land Trust. Ringhausen explained that the Great Rivers Land Trust recognized the importance of the confluence area and began working to “start implementing this vision” several years ago.
