After a caller to the afternoon KFRU Closers program got a terse answer to go to MLB.com when inquiring about the Cards broadcasts this year, it appears that they have been replaced by KSSZ-FM, completing the Zimmer Group's takeover of the Central Missouri radio network homes for the Cards, Mizzou and the Rams (not sure about the Chiefs).  For the first time since the 1940s KFRU is a not a STL Cards affiliate.

Ironically, none of the Cards affiliates are licensed to the two largest cities, Columbia or Jeff City.  Zimmer's KSSZ-FM is licensed to Fayette; KATI-FM is California while KTGR-FM is Fulton.

Are the Cards games still on KTGR?  I heard their 103.1 FM translator with a clean signal all the way out to Kingdom City the other day... Between the translator, 100.5 in Fulton, and the AM it looks as though they now have pretty good market coverage.  When did Zimmer take over that translator?  I remember it used to relay 93.1 Boonville, and was nowhere near as powerful as it is now with the signal barely getting out of Columbia...
