Kehoe's order has five minimum standards until the legislature establishes state laws.

They are permanently deleting most license plate and vehicle data within 30 days, limiting the cameras to legitimate criminal justice and livesaving purposes, prohibiting the integration of A-I facial recognition technology with camera systems, requiring accountability measures to prevent and penalize misuse, and prohibiting the data generated in Missouri from being sold, shared, or commercialized.

Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
