KMAQ

KMAQ is a proud St. Louis Cardinals affiliate and is honored to bring our listeners each St. Louis Cardinals game.

In addition to Cardinals games, KMAQ specializes in bringing you the latest news, sports, and weather to Jackson, Clinton, Cedar, Jones, Scott, and Dubuque counties.

KMAQ (AM) went on the air august 26, 1958, owned and operated by the Jackson County Broadcasting Company with headquarters in Monroe, Wisconsin. One of the three partners then was Nathan L. Goets, who now, as President of Goetz Broadcasting, Inc., owns radio stations in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan. Goetz and his partners sold KMAQ to Dennis W. Voy in 1965. Voy was the station manager at the time and had started with the station as an announcer when the station first began. He assumed ownership as Maquoketa Broadcast Company in October 1, 1965. Two years later, KMAQ-FM was built, adding nighttime radio for the Maquoketa area for the first time. KMAQ from the start has had a strong listener-ship in Jackson, Clinton and Jones County, and in some portions of Dubuque and Cedar Counties. KMAQ AM & FM, with separate programming since the early 1980’s, are the only two radio stations in the local Jackson County area.
