KXXT

KXXT (1010 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and instructional format. Licensed to Tolleson, Arizona, USA, the station serves the Phoenix area. KXXT uses the slogan "Family Values Radio" and is owned by Salem Media Group (under the licensee Common Ground Broadcasting, Inc.),

KXXT is co-owned with Talk radio KKNT 960 AM Phoenix and KPXQ 1360 AM in Glendale, which also broadcasts a Christian radio format. KXXT operates with 15,000 watts by day, and can be heard as far south as Tucson and as far north as Cottonwood. But because 1010 kHz is a Canadian and Cuban clear channel frequency, KXXT must reduce its power to 250 watts at night to not interfere with other radio stations also operating on 1010 kHz. (AM radio waves travel farther at night.) After sunset, it may be hard to hear KXXT much beyond Phoenix and its close-in suburbs due to its reduced power.

History

KCAC

The station went on the air in 1961 as daytime-only KCAC, Phoenix's first radio station aimed at an African-American audience. In the mid-'60s, KCAC switched to a Spanish-language format for a few years then became an "underground" free-form station. KCAC's owners declared bankruptcy in October 1970 and switched formats to religious as KHCS the following year.
