KPXQ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KPXQ is a Christian radio station owned by Salem Communications in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Programs include Through the Bible with J. Vernon McGee, Grace to You with John MacArthur, and Love Worth Finding with Adrian Rogers. KPXQ is licensed to Glendale.

1360 AM was once the home to Top 40 KRUX from the 1950s until the 1970s. During its heyday, it competed head to head with KRIZ 1230 AM for Top 40 radio dominance in Phoenix. For a brief period in the mid-1970s, KRUX experimented with an all-news format featuring NBC's ill-fated "News and Information Service" network. When that experiment failed, they went back to their Top 40 format, but would never recover with the insurgence of FM competition.

In 1981, KRUX became KLFF with the "Music of Your Life" MOR format until 1992, when they tried another attempt at all-news (featuring the CNN Headline News audio feed) as KNNS. This would last two years before they went to all-sports talk as KGME, now at 910 AM.

Salem purchased the station in 1999, with intentions of creating a new conservative talk station in Phoenix to pair with its Christian Talk and Teaching format at 960 AM (which was then called "Q96"). Instead, Salem moved the religious programming to 1360 AM with 960 becoming the home for secular talk.
