KKOW is also committed to local high school sports and we're fortunate to cover two local schools with great tradition, the Pittsburg Purple Dragons and St. Mary's-Colgan Panthers.
Since 1990 KKOW has been the broadcast voice of the Purple Dragons, who have been in the Kansas State Playoffs more than any other team in the state.
The success of the Panthers is well known throughout the midwest. It includes a state record 66 game winning streak in football (2000-2004) and 10 state baseball titles.
KKOW isn't just about local sports, we're also your home for some of the biggest names in national sports. We're proud to be the only affiliate in the Pittsburg/Joplin area for the Kansas City Chiefs as well as the Kansas City Royals
We love our KC Chiefs which is why you'll hear live daily training camp reports with "The voice of the Chiefs" Mitch Holthus and regular reports from the Royals home "Kauffman Stadium".
Of course real sports fans need a place to hear the latest information about their favorite sports teams which is why every weeknight at 5 you'll hear the KKOW Sports Drive with Eddie Lomshek. Interviews, insight and special guests fill the show with everything local sports fans need.
With all of this it's no wonder your home for the best, most complete and professional sports coverage is 860 AM, KKOW.
