KMOX's overnight show going national: Overnight America to be syndicated by Dial Global

A St. Louis-based overnight radio show is going into national syndication.

Radio syndicator Dial Global and CBS Radio's KMOX-1120 announced yesterday that KMOX's Overnight America with Jon Grayson will be available nationally starting next Monday, Jan. 30.

The show, which debuted about three years ago, according to Radio Ink, is already carried by CBS stations KDKA in Pittsburgh and WCCO-AM in Minneapolis, and can also be heard on the Radio.com mobile app. No word yet on whether it will come to the Tri-State directly, but since KMOX's signal reaches much of the area already during the nighttime hours, it's not hard to find.

I happen to be a fan of the program, which airs from midnight to 5 a.m. Central time. Grayson covers a variety of topics on each show and always makes it interesting. Last night, for example, Grayson talked about the death of former LAPD detective Philip Vannatter, who was one of the lead investigators on the O.J. Simpson murder case. The wealth of anecdotes Grayson shared captured my interest, and I ended up listening for quite a while, as I often do.

If you're having trouble sleeping some night, give the show a try. I think you might just like it ... and maybe, just maybe, if one of our local talk stations is looking for something different for the overnight hours, it'll come here.
