KDXU (890 AM/94.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to St. George, Utah, United States, the station is currently owned by Cherry Creek Media.[1] KDXU is also an affiliate of the BYU Cougars Sports Network.

KDXU signed on in 1957 on 1450 kHz. It moved to 890 kHz in September 1985; a three-tower directional antenna is used from sunset to sunrise to protect the nighttime skywave signal of co-channel WLS (AM) (class A) in Chicago.

As a Cherry Creek station, KDXU is managed by Dale Desmond, with program director Andy Griffin and news director Craig Bennett. Griffin hosts a 6 a.m.-9 a.m. morning show that also features news by Bennett, plus Griffin hosts a morning political/current events call-in show from 9 a.m.-10 a.m.

KDXU also simulcasts on 94.9 FM in St. George.
