After launching in July on 93.3 KRTK Hermann MO, Rick & Tracy Ellis are expanding their Conservative Talk “Real Talk” brand to additional stations across Eastern Missouri.
The brand is now being heard on BDJ Radio Enterprises 1010 KXEN/100.7 K264CY St. Louis, and East Central Broadcasting’s duo of 104.3 KVMO Vandalia and 107.3 KLPW-FM Steelville/Rolla. The stations will slightly differentiate their midday programming as Westwood One’s Dan Bongino airs on KRTK and KVMO from 11am-2pm, KLPW-FM will carry Wendy Bell, and KXEN Charlie Kirk from 11 to 1. KXEN will also air Larry Connors from 1 to 3pm.
Rick and Tracy Ellis (Ellis Broadcasting & Media LLC), owners of the Missouri-based Real Talk Radio Network, are pleased to announce the addition of four new stations to their network: KTRK 107.3 FM (Steelville, Cuba & Rolla, MO), KVMO 104.3 FM (Vandalia & Hannibal, MO/Quincy, IL), KXEN 1010 AM and 100.7 FM (St. Louis County/City and Illinois). The four stations join the flagship station 93.3 FM KRTK to bring local, real conservative talk back to the airwaves. The Ellis team is also expanding 93.3 FM KRTK with a new and improved tower at the first of the year.
“When starting this network, it was important for us to report the news from multiple sources and let the people use their own discernment. It was also just as important to bring spirituality back to the local airwaves in a talk format along with liberty and love of country,” said Tracy Ellis. “It is evident there was a huge need for this as we have had over 26,000,000 hits on our web site and more than 136,000 app downloads in just eight short weeks on the air! WE THE PEOPLE have spoken, and we are blessed to be able to let their voices be heard instead of silenced.” “We feel that the locally owned and operated format allows us to not be as censored as some other stations could be if they are in a corporate environment,” added Rick Ellis.
Each station will carry the exact same programming lineup except for Wendy Bell who will host the 11am-2pm time slot on the 107.3 KRTK station in Rolla, and Charlie Kirk will have the same time slot on KXEN 1010 & 100.7 FM. Larry Conners will also continue his daily show on KXEN 1010 & 100.7 FM from 1-3 pm. Real Talk has an amazing line up from Joe Hoft (Gateway Pundit) & Kell Brazil, Dr. Eric Nepute, Senator Bill Eigel, former Senator Brian Nieves, DeAnna Lorraine, Dan Bongino, Ben Shapiro, Ann Vandersteel, Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, and Real Talk is the first radio station to partner with One American News. You can tune in to Dan Ball and Stephanie Hammil’s show every evening from 10pm-12am.
The Ellis team also feels it is important to honor their community with shows from local police officers and Prosecuting Attorney Tim Lohmar. Ann Dorn leads a show honoring the lives of fallen first responders and there is a show honoring Veterans, and so much more. Gussie & Haley Busch have a fun-loving show every Saturday evening.
