KIKO-FM (96.5
Tucson metropolitan area. Its transmitter is located off Route 651 in the Pinal Mountains, at 966 meters (3,169 ft) in height above average terrain (HAAT).[1]
The station was assigned the KIKO-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 19, 1990.[2]
Ownership History
In December 2007, 1TV.Com (John Low, president) reached an agreement to acquire
construction permit
allowing 1TV.com to upgrade the facilities of KIKO-FM to Class C3 and moved from 106.1 to 97.3.
The FCC granted this voluntary transfer of license on February 19, 2008.[4] and the transfer was completed April 30, 2008.[1] The station made the move to its new frequency.
On January 27, 2012, 97.3 KIKO-FM changed its format to
comedy, branded as "Funny 97.3." The station was taken dark
on March 17, 2014.
After being silent for nearly four months, KIKO-FM returned to the air on July 8, 2014, with an oldies format, branded as "Oldies 97.3".[5]
In August 2017, KIKO-FM moved from 97.3 FM to 96.5 FM.[6]
KIKO-FM was approved to change from a class C2 to a class C and increase its power from 670
horizontal polarization only, which allows them to run with less transmitter power output
at the expense of reception, especially in cars.
