[edit] History
The station went on the air as KAYQ, and played country music for several years.
On 1978-12-20, the station changed its call sign to KJLA under Owner/General Manager Wilton "Chip" Osborn, and played 24-hour disco music until that music phenomenon faded in 1980. Even the newscasts had a disco beat in the background. KJLA switched to "The Music of Your Life" in the fall of 1981, and dropped all local newscasts - yet several months later, the station received a national Associated Press award for its coverage of the deadly Hyatt Regency skywalk collapse.
On 1992-10-12 the station became KFEZ. On 1997-03-03 to the current KPHN.[2] Prior to its current Radio Disney format, KPHN broadcast Business News.
