Some electric customers on the south side of Maryville were without power late Saturday afternoon (August 1) for 90 minutes.

Evergy's outage website said there was an equipment failure.

The outage lasted the longest on the south side of Highway V across the street from the Mosaic campus and Maryville Middle School.

At one point, the outage map showed more than 380 customers were affected.

Evergy's outage website showed more than 40 outages Saturday afternoon in its two state coverage area...including Platte City and Kansas City.

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.
