KDUS

KDUS (1060 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Tempe, Arizona, and serving the Phoenix metropolitan area.

So at night, it reduces power to 500 watts to avoid interference with Class A stations KYW Philadelphia and XECPAE Mexico City.

It was owned by the Tri-State Broadcasting Co. and by the 1960s featured Phoenix veteran disc jockey Bill Heywood in the morning.

It became KKKQ "The New KQ" under Program Director Steve Casey, formerly with Top 40 leader KHJ Los Angeles and later one of the co-creators of MTV.

Both stations lost their original licenses for lying to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about an alleged secret owner.

[6] The stations were instead awarded to former owner Jack Grimm, his wife Jackie, Ruth Clifford, and radio executive Robert Fish, doing business as G&C Broadcasting.

After the switch to sports, the station started referring to itself as "The Deuce," and the call letters officially shifted to KDUS in 1997.

KDUS is the Phoenix radio home of Northern Arizona University football and NAU men's basketball.

KDUS was the flagship station of the National Hockey League's Phoenix Coyotes on AM from the team's first year in 1996 through the 2007–08 season, after which its rights were acquired by 910 KGME.

KDUS carried the National Football League's Arizona Cardinals on AM from 1997 through the 2004 season, after which its rights were acquired by 620 KTAR.

Since the AM signal of KDUS doesn't completely cover the Phoenix area, particularly at night, both the Cardinals and Coyotes arranged to have their games simulcast on FM sister stations KDKB or KSLX-FM.
