KCKY (1150 AM) is a radio station in Pinal County, Arizona. The station is licensed to the city of Coolidge and is owned by the Cortaro Broadcasting Corporation.

History

KCKY began life November 17, 1964,[1] as an English-language country music station. Singers Lee Hazlewood and Waylon Jennings worked at KCKY briefly. Hazlewood hosted a weekly Saturday night show on the station which featured guitarist Duane Eddy and a house band.[2]

KCKY's license was canceled on June 29, 2017 for not paying debts it owed to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which prevented the renewal of the station's license.[3][4] The license was restored on November 8, 2017 after the FCC ruled that the cancellation was "premature"; concurrently, it initiated license revocation proceedings over the station not paying regulatory fees.[5]
