KIKO-FM (96.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Claypool, Arizona, United States. KIKO-FM is owned by 1TV.Com and programs an oldies format.
The station was assigned the KIKO-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 19, 1990.[1]
Ownership History
In December 2007, 1TV.Com (John Low, president) reached an agreement to acquire KIKO (AM) and KIKO-FM from Shoecraft Broadcasting for a reported $1.025 million.[2] Broadcasting & Cable reported that the deal called for a $50,000 escrow deposit plus $725,000 cash at closing, then an additional $250,000 upon the FCC's issuance of a construction permit allowing 1TV.com to upgrade the facilities of KIKO-FM to Class C3.
The FCC granted this voluntary transfer of license on February 19, 2008.[3] and the transfer was completed April 30, 2008.
On January 27, 2012 KIKO-FM changed their format to comedy, branded as "Funny 97.3".
After being silent since March 17, 2014, KIKO-FM returned to the air on July 8, 2014 with an oldies format branded as "Oldies 97.3".[4]
In August 2017 KIKO-FM moved from 97.3 FM to 96.5 FM.[5]
KIKO-FM was approved to change from a class C2 to a class C and increase its power from 670 watts to 34,000 watts and decrease height from 1,015 meters to 966 meters which now allows it to cover and serve the Tuscon and Phoenix, Arizona market’s pretty well.
