KNUV

KNUV (1190 kHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Tolleson, Arizona, and serving the Phoenix metropolitan area.

[5] At the same time, NRV bought a Denver station, which it christened KNRV, and gave it an identical format.

[6] On November 9, 2007, KNUV protested the police description of the "Chandler Rapist" as a "Hispanic," claiming it amounts to racial profiling.

The man, believed to be responsible for six attacks on teenage girls starting in June 2006 was described as Hispanic, 28 to 40 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, muscular, with a mustache and black hair.

The station was shut down due to "a faltering economy, ongoing crackdowns on undocumented immigrants and a tough market for Spanish talk radio".

KNUV assumed the flagship station designation for Nova M, which later became On Second Thought before ceasing operations entirely by the spring of 2009.

[9] On the morning of March 5, 2009, KNUV stopped broadcasting progressive talk and switched back to a Spanish-language format later that afternoon.
