ST. LOUIS – Community radio station KDHX has filed for Chapter Eleven bankruptcy, allowing it to continue operations while restructuring its debts.
The filing comes after a tumultuous period for the station, which saw the loss of 24 of its 80 volunteer disc jockeys in September 2023 due to firings or walkouts, significantly affecting its revenue.
In January of this year, 16 former volunteers filed a lawsuit against KDHX, adding to the station’s financial and operational challenges.
Following these events, KDHX made the decision to let go of all its 115 volunteers and began airing pre-recorded shows from its archives.
The future of KDHX remains uncertain as it navigates the bankruptcy process and attempts to resolve its financial difficulties.
