KFLX Station

KFLX (92.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a 80's hits format. Licensed to Chino Valley, Arizona, USA, it serves the Flagstaff-Prescott area. The station is currently owned by Grenax Broadcasting II, LLC.

In July 2010 KFLX moved to 92.5 FM licensed to Chino Valley, AZ. Sister station KBTK took the 105.1 frequency licensed to Kachina Village as 105.1 The Big Talker.

In January 2009 105.1 The Canyon, along with sister stations 96.7 The WOLF and 107.5 KOLT Country, moved into state of the art studios on 4th Street in Flagstaff.

KFLX signed on the air in January 1989 by Standard Communications of Dallas who also owned KSLX which is now owned by Sandusky Radio, KBLX now owned by Inner City Broadcasting and KPLX owned by Cumulus. Standard later sold the station to Flagstaff Radio Corp in 1993 which was bought by Red Rock Communications. In 2007 Grenax Broadcasting II, LLC purchased the station along with sisters KWMX-FM and KSED-FM.

In January 2012, 92.5/104.1 began promoting that they were "pressing the big red button on the 20th" and to tune in at 9:25 am that morning to find out what the stations were up to. On that day at that time, KFLX began playing sound clips of songs, commercials and TV shows from the 1980s, and introduced an 80's hits format on the stations, branded as "Rewind 92.5 & 104.1". The last 2 songs on The Canyon were It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M and the first 90 seconds of A Change Would Do You Good by Sheryl Crow. The first 2 songs on Rewind were The Go-Go's We Got The Beat and Michael Jackson's Billie Jean [1]
