I think there is a key difference between FX service and Remote Call Forwarding, which is that FX service is a two-way service while remote call-forwarding was for incoming calls only.
My first job was at a radio station in Warrenton, Mo. We also had FX lines for O'Fallon and Troy. Not only could our O'Fallon (plus St. Peters) and Troy (plus Moscow Mills) listeners call us with a local seven-digit call, we could call those communities by just picking up those lines and dialing the local number. The lines were on different buttons on our standard Continental (ITT) multi-line phones. Just looking at the KWRE web site, it appears that the O'Fallon FX line has been replaced by a Foristell FX line (which makes much more sense) but the Troy FX line is still in place. The numbers have changed due to requirements of Missouri's Metropolitan Calling Area plans, and there is also an 800 toll-free number, but looks like the FX numbers are still there!
