KSHE is a rock & roll radio station licensed to Crestwood, Missouri which serves the St. Louis, Missouri area. KSHE is located at 94.7 MHz and currently uses the slogan "KSHE 95, Real Rock Radio". The station mascot is a sunglass wearing pig named Sweet Meat, a likeness of which originally appeared on the Blodwyn Pig LP, "Ahead Rings Out". Like the pig pictured on the LP cover, Sweet Meat first appeared with a joint in his mouth. This "controversial" detail disappeared in the early '80s. The station's studios have been located in the Powerhouse building at St. Louis Union Station since the 1990s, while the transmitter remains in Crestwood. KSHE is owned by Emmis Communications and has been since 1984.
