Gordon Deal’s This Morning, America’s First News has expanded beyond 325 affiliates, with additions including KMOX in St. Louis, Missouri, and WCCO in Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to an October 20 report from Barrett Media.

The Compass Media Networks program has added 20 stations following the conclusion of Westwood One’s America in the Morning, the report says.

The additions place Deal’s program on two established Midwestern news outlets and illustrate how stations are replacing a departing syndicated morning service.
