KOY

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KOY radio, broadcasting at 1230 AM in Phoenix, is the oldest radio station in the state of Arizona. They are owned and operated by Clear Channel Communications.

Originally broadcasting on 550 AM, the signal was switched to 1230 AM when News/Talk station KFYI took over the 550 signal.

KOY's format is "Adult Standards". Morning show host Danny Davis is a fixture on KOY and is well loved by the station’s listeners. The station carries the John Tesh Radio Program in afternoons. The remainder of the programming is mostly satellite fed from the Dial Global network with a play list including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand and more.

KOY now resides on the frequency that was a popular music station during the 1960s and 1970s. During those years, 1230 was KRIZ, an extremely successful AM top 40 station with studios and transmitter on Buckeye Road, in the western part of Phoenix.

For many years, KOY was the Valley’s top station. KOY still maintains a loyal audience and is regularly at the top of the Adults 55+ ratings and often in the top 10 in the Adults 35+ demographic.

In the 80's KOY-AM also had a sister station, KOY-FM which was known as Y-95. Y-95 was a contemporary hit radio (Top-40) station and was owned by Edens Broadcasting, headed by Gary Edens.
