The KWOS call sign referenced an earlier Jefferson City radio station, WOS, that was set up by Missouri Agriculture Commissioner Jewell A. Mayes to facilitate agricultural commerce.[3] WOS was first licensed on February 23, 1922,[4] and was deleted on March 27, 1936.[5] The original KWOS on AM 1240 was established in 1937.
