KDKB


KDKB is a Rock station licensed to Mesa, Arizona. A former WEBN employee and his friend used some trust fund money to buy the station and flipped it from Easy Listening to freeform rock in 1971. They took much of the staff of another early Rock station in Phoenix--KCAC--and quickly overtook their competition, helped by simulcasting the signal on an AM sister station as many radios at the time couldn't tune in FM. KDKB celebrated their 40th anniversary this past August.

KZZP



KZZP is a semi-legendary Top-40 station in Phoenix, Arizona. They became a CHR station in 1980 and pulled in monster Arbitron ratings the second half of that decade and into the 1990s. As with many Clear Channel-owned hit music outlets, the station now uses the "KISS FM" branding. KZZP is licensed to Mesa, AZ.
