ST LOUIS RADIO GROUNDS AIRBORNE TRAFFIC<\/strong> For years, KTRS-550 and KMOX-1120 Airborne traffic updates fly together above busy roads during morning and evening rushes. Friday, March 31, 2017 is the last time that KTRS-550\u2019s Tim Wilund and KMOX-1120\u2019s Rodger Brand send Airborne traffic reports. This is due to the high cost of flying, plus the availability of technology on the ground.
