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.
