KEOS was a radio station in Flagstaff, Arizona, which used the slogan "Service in Sound in Northern Arizona" in the 1950s and 1960s. Owned by Flagstaff businessman Jack Bird and licensed to Thunderbird Broadcasting Company, the call letters stood for the initials of the first owner E.O. Smith. The station was a 250 watt daytimer signing off at sunset each day. The station studios were located at 15 North San Francisco Street, in downtown Flagstaff. KEOS was Flagstaff's number one station for years. It is now dark as the Flagstaff market became FM heavy.
