History

It was a Saturday night, January 31, 1925. Radio, though becoming more common, was still in its infancy. In St. Louis, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch owned a station. So did St. Louis University, Stix, Baer & Fuller and Concordia Seminary. It was only natural that another newspaper might want to generate some publicity.

So the St. Louis Star reached an agreement with the owners of WIL, Benson Broadcasting. While no details of the agreement have been found, copies of the Star from that time period refer to WIL as "The St. Louis Star Station." Its center of operations was the Star Building at 12th and Locust. The call letters had just been changed from the original WEB, and the owners, the Benson family, used their relationship with the Star to gain a lot of promotional print.
