History

KAZM first signed on the air on November 1, 1974. The station throughout the years ran a couple of formats. First as middle of [the road (music)|MOR] and then later adult contemporary from 1984 until the 1990s. It would then become a "brokered" News/Talk/Sports/Classic Rock/Oldies station. By the end of 2023, KAZM switched to Mellow Mountain Radio which is a full-service format, consisting of local, state, and national news coverage every hour interspersed with songs within the Soft Oldies music genre. KAZM also carries live play-by-play coverage of Arizona-based sports teams, and talk shows such as Coast To Coast AM.
