The derby has evolved for over 50 years. It was begun on August 31, 1947, and earned its official name in 1948. For many years, live coverage of the derby has been broadcast on local radio stations KINY and KSUP. There was no broadcast from 1980 to 1982, due to a dispute with the Federal Communications Commission.
