Report on Station KFUO
Our Synod’s Radio Station KFUO on the campus of
Seminary, St. Louis, in December, 1949, celebrated its sil
versary. This happy occasion was observed in a speci
of thanksgiving in the auditorium of Concordia Semina
anniversary broadcasts, too, brought the event to the’
of the Station’s listeners. At the same time Dr. J. H. C. |
pleted twenty-five years as member of the KFUO Radia
mittee, which has guided the affairs of the Station.
Hohenstein, too, is rounding out a quarter of a century
of the Station. During this period the Station has been’
blessed by God and from small beginnings has grown in
having an estimated value of nearly $400,000 and an
budget in excess of $10,000 per month. The latest project:
the construction of an annex to the KFUO building in
provide desperately needed space. This was dedicated i
1948. Its cost, due to the increased price of material:
wages, exceeded the amount originally planned in the

picture of the Station’s expansion program and am
$138,000.
