KSAZ (580 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Marana, Arizona, and broadcasting to the Tucson metropolitan area. It is owned by KASA Radio Hogar, Inc. KSAZ airs a Spanish-language Christian talk and music format. Most of the day, it carries brokered programming, where hosts buy time on the air and may use their programs to seek donations to their ministries.
By day, KSAZ is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. At night, to protect other stations on 580 AM, it reduces power to 390 watts and switches to a directional antenna with a three-tower array.
History
Further information: KIKX (Arizona)KJMM signed on in 1987. It was owned by Elliott-Phelps Broadcasting Corporation and used the facilities of the former KIKX, a noted Top 40 station on 580 AM in Tucson. KIKX signed off the air five years earlier after its license was revoked. In 1990, KJMM became KSAZ and relocated to Marana.
Prior to March 1, 2009, it was airing country music format courtesy of ABC Radio's Real Country satellite feed. Prior to September 1, 2008, it was airing an adult standards format.
