KWIX (1230 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a news talk format. Licensed to Moberly, Missouri, United States, the station serves the Moberly MO Metro area. The station is currently owned by Alpha Media, through licensee Alpha Media Licensee LLC and features programming from CBS Radio, Missouri Net, Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Miller, Lou Dobbs, Jim Bohannon, Gary Sullivan, Red Eye Radio and Dave Ramsey.[1]

In the early 1990s, KWIX-KRES radio's on-air staff included St. Louis-area transplants such as Bryan Polcyn, Doug Stewart, Mike Roberts and Paul Lewandowski.

This is a reassignment of a callsign. The original KWIX was a shortwave radio station based in San Francisco, California, commissioned by the federal government in World War II. It served as the basis for what later became the Voice of America.
