KPNG is an FM radio station in Chandler, Arizona, broadcasting on 88.7 FM. KPNG is licensed to the East Valley Institute of Technology, and its studios are located at EVIT's main facilities in Mesa. The station airs a format consisting of Top 40, and some Dance Hits, primarily targeted at an adult audience, branded as The Pulse.

History

The station was licensed to the Arizona Community Media Foundation, but in early 2015, AZCMF sold the station to the East Valley Institute of Technology, which already owned KVIT in Apache Junction, for $700,000.^[1]

On August 11, 2015, KPNG came to air and replaced KVIT and its then-translator K224CJ. While EVIT maintains ownership of KVIT, K224CJ, which was independently owned the whole time, now carries KAZG AM 1440.

Broadcast Coverage

KPNG broadcasts from a transmitter located in Maricopa; it covers 90 percent of the Phoenix metropolitan area as well as all of Pinal County.

Programs

Programming on KPNG is largely produced by EVIT students and local DJs, though there are exceptions, such as AIA-produced high school football telecasts. The station also carries a limited number of syndicated programs, such as Dawson McAllister Live and The Weekend Top 30 with Sean Hamilton.

Radio Phoenix

88.7 FM airs three shows on Sunday mornings originating from Internet-only community station Radio Phoenix (operated by former KPNG permittee Arizona Community Media Foundation). These shows include The Althea Long Show (reggae and Caribbean music) from 6-7am, My World Of Music (reggae and world music) from 7-8am, and Full Moon Hacksaw (traditional jazz and blues) from 8-9am.
