History
The station
border area
. The station was sold to Roadrunner Broadcasting in 1988. KZLZ Broadcasting bought the station, by then known as KLCR, in 1994.
In 1999, after two additional sales, Ted Tucker bought the station, then known as KZNO. In April 2002, Tucker was approved to move KZNO from 98.3 in Nogales to 98.5 in Vail, Arizona, increasing its ERP to 3,900 watts.
According to a
U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing in 2006, the station was unable to maintain a reliable power supply.[4]
The only access to the transmitter site was via helicopter, and the station was powered solely by solar panels and wind turbines. The filing with the FCC asked to operate at less than licensed power or erratically based on power availability. The application was accepted by the FCC, but not approved.
In June 2010, KRDX was granted an FCC construction permit to change the city of license to Corona de Tucson, Arizona, and move to 103.7 MHz, which would end its long-time interference with KOHT. The station was licensed for the new frequency and community of license effective October 9, 2020. The 103.7 transmitter now has a more consistent signal throughout all of Tucson.
