Ameren promotes Karen Foss
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Two years after joining AmerenUE to head up the utility’s public relations efforts, former KSDK-TV news anchor Karen Foss is being promoted to senior vice president at Ameren Corp.
Foss, 65, will oversee communications and brand management for St. Louis-based Ameren Corp. and report directly to new Chief Executive Officer Thomas R. Voss, the company said in a statement. The promotion takes effect on Friday, the same day Voss takes over as CEO.
Foss began her career in Kansas City and spent more than 25 years at KSDK.
Most recently at AmerenUE, Foss appeared in television commercials urging support for legislation that would have helped the utility develop a second nuclear power plant in Callaway County.
From time to time, I’ll read the comments section. I usually regret it since I seldom read anything worthwhile. After reading, I generally go throw up and vow never to read the comments section again. I’ve really got to learn to stick to my guns. I hate throwing up.
I thought she was dead?
I agree with Tigger. I think you all are jealous. Get a life and mind your own business.
Why does a company that already has a monopoly need to do any type of advertising at all? It is because they need to bamboozle taxpayers into funding more projects that will eventually lead to higher costs. They are like every other corporation that exists-the sole purpose is to make more money.
They know that now is the time to jump on the bandwagon for new facilities as the costs of stand alone electrical systems, such as solar and wind are growing in popularity and coming down in cost.
I pay $2400 a year for electricity currently, and can and will install a solar/wind system that will be an initial outlay of about $22,000, but will pay for itself in less than 10 years. It is warranteed for 25 years.
Congratulations to Karen Foss on her promotion. I’ve been a Karen Foss fan for many years and believe she did an excellent job as a reporter. It looks like she does everything with excellence.
Well, she was horrific on Channel 5 when she was there reporting the news. I never did care for her. Glad Ameren has her in the stupid commercials. Hope she isnt’ getting paid too much for that.
Personally I do not care for Ms. Foss, nor will I ever care for her. Just happy to see her off the airwaves.

Karen can read a teleprompter better than many other talking heads.
I have just one thing to say about this. Karen Foss is one S.I.L.F. Does that make me a bad person?
Currently, AMEREN peddles excess electrical output to other grids to
the tune of $600-million. I suspect they’re planning for the future,
alright. In a few years with our economy tanking, everyone’ll be so
damned depressed, we’ll be lining up at psych-wards begging for ECT!
(Electric Convulsive Therapy). That, alone, will place such high
demands on Ameren’s output capability, it’ll easily justify not
one, but at least two more nukes!
Foss’s future looks brighter than the cooling towers glowing over
Fulton, Mo.
Upfront and guaranteed. Interesting. Like the way you pay for your power. Interesting. You get it, then you pay for it. PR id apparently very needed for Ameren as there seem to be so many oblivious consumers. It truly is frightening.
