===Radio and television===

Originally, the Blues aired their games on [[KPLR-TV]] and [[KMOX]] radio, with team patron [[Gus Kyle]] calling games alongside St Louis broadcasting legend [[Jack Buck]]. Buck elected to leave the booth after one season, though, and was replaced by another famed announcer in [[Dan Kelly (sportscaster)|Dan Kelly]]. This setup—Kelly as commentator, with either Kyle, [[Bob Plager]] or [[Noel Picard]] (whose heavy French-Canadian accent became famous, such as pronouncing owner Sid Salomon III "Sid the Turd" instead of "Third") joining as an analyst, simulcast on KMOX and KPLR—continued through the 1975–76 season, then simulcast on KMOX and [[KDNL-TV]] for the next three seasons. KMOX is a 50,000-watt clear-channel station that reaches almost all of North America at night, allowing Kelly to become a celebrity in both the United States and Canada. Indeed, many of the Blues' players liked the fact that their families could hear the games on KMOX.

From 1979 to 1981, the radio and television broadcasts were separated for the first time since the inaugural season, with Kelly doing the radio broadcasts and [[Eli Gold]] hired to do the television. Following the 1980–81 season, the television broadcasts moved from KDNL to [[NBC]] affiliate [[KSDK|KSD-TV]] for the 1981–82 season, produced by Sports Network Incorporated (SNI), owned and operated by Greg Maracek who did the broadcasts with Channel 5 sportscaster Ron Jacober. The broadcasts failed to produce a profit and then returned to KPLR for the 1982 NHL playoffs and the 1982–83 season before returning to KDNL (currently St. Louis' ABC affiliate) for the 1983–84 season, the first under the ownership of Harry Ornest. The Blues skated back to KPLR [[1986–87 St. Louis Blues season|three years later]].

In 1985, Ornest, wanting more broadcast revenue, put the radio rights up for bid. A new company who had purchased [[KXOK (AM)|KXOK]] won the bid for a three-year contract and Kelly moved over from KMOX to do the games on KXOK. However, the station was never financially competitive in the market. Additionally, fans complained they couldn't hear the station at night (it had to readjust its coverage due to a glut of clear-channels on adjacent frequencies). KXOK backed out of the contract after just two years, and the Blues immediately went back to KMOX, who held the rights until 2000. Dan Kelly continued to broadcast the games on radio but was diagnosed in the summer of 1988 with lung cancer and died on February 10, 1989. After his death, Ron Jacober (who had left Channel 5 to be KXOK's sports director in 1985 then left for KMOX in 1987) finished the season as the radio play-by-play announcer and was succeeded in that position by John Kelly. Ken Wilson continued the television broadcasts after Kelly's death with former Blues' players [[Joe Micheletti]] and [[Bruce Affleck]]. During this time, from 1989 to 2000, more games began to be aired on Prime Sports Midwest, the forerunner to today's [[Fox Sports Midwest]] (branded '''''FS'''BLUES'' in games).

The long-term partnership between KMOX and the Blues had its problems, however, namely during spring when the ever-popular [[St. Louis Cardinals]] began their season. Blues games, many of which were crucial to playoff berths, would often be pre-empted for [[spring training]] coverage. Angry at having to play "second fiddle", the Blues elected to leave for [[KTRS (AM)|KTRS]] in 2000. However, in an ironic twist the Cards purchased a controlling interest in KTRS in 2005, and once again preferred to air pre-season baseball over regular-season hockey. In response, the Blues moved back to KMOX starting in the 2006–07 season. The season of 2008–09 saw the Blues play their last game on KPLR, which had the rights since the 1986–87 season (except for the 1996–97 season on CBS affiliate [[KMOV]]), electing to move all their games to FS Midwest, starting with the 2009–10 season. The Cardinals moved back to KMOX in the 2011 season, restoring the spring conflicts anew, though lessened with the rise of [[Internet radio]], of which KMOX is contractually obligated to only serve the Cardinals broadcasts via MLB's for-pay radio structure, freeing up Blues broadcasts to be carried in some form over the station's web stream, which is allowed by the NHL.

Currently, Chris Kerber and [[Kelly Chase]] are the radio broadcast team. [[John Kelly (Canadian broadcaster)|John Kelly]] (son of Dan) and [[Darren Pang]] handle television coverage, along with [[Bernie Federko]] (on-ice analyst) and [[Tony Twist]] and Scott Warmann (pre-game and post-game shows).
