History
Through the mid-1980s KSUN was an English-language station under the call letters KONI and later KXIV and it was programmed with a middle of the road (MOR) music format. The station was co-owned by Ira Lavin and actor Dick Van Dyke (a Phoenix resident). Disc jockeys included George Scott, Jack Dey, Jim Hutton, Paul B. Mundt, and Jim Spero (who also served as program director).[1]
The station changed to its current Spanish-language format in 1987.[2]
