History
The station signed on the air in October 1962 as KFGT. It was an automated station owned by Gene Philippi.[2] Not long after signing on, the station went silent and was sold. The new owner was Guy Christian, who changed the call sign to KAFF and put the station back on air that fall.[3]
An FM sister station, 92.9 KFLG, signed on in 1968. It originally played adult contemporary music during the day, country music at night and classical music for a few hours on Sunday. The two stations swapped call letters on March 1, 1982, with the FM station becoming KAFF and the AM station becoming KFLG. On December 16, 1986, KFLG changed its call sign back to KAFF.[4] KAFF 930 began airing classic country music, while KAFF-FM 92.9 concentrates on current and recent country hits.
On August 1, 2024, KAFF changed their format from classic country to news/talk, branded as "KAFF News Radio".[5]
Programming
Jeff Kennedy hosts the station's local morning show; the rest of the weekday schedule is nationally syndicated conservative talk shows. The station also carries Fox Sports Radio on weekday evenings and weekends, and Northern Arizona University play-by-play sports.
