History

KYCA (The News 1490) has been serving Prescott and the surrounding communities since 1940, providing news and other programming to the rapidly growing area. The station was originally part of the Arizona Radio Network and was owned by KTAR radio in Phoenix beginning in 1944. The station was acquired by the Silverstein family in 1970 and remains under that ownership today.[1]

KYCA, an affiliate of the Fox News Radio Network and Westwood One, also carries local news, sports, and other information. The station first began its transition to full-time news-talk radio with the premiere of The Rush Limbaugh Show in 1988 and The Dr. Dean Edell Show a few years later. The current lineup includes Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage, and Lars Larson.

KYCA has an FM translator at 103.5 MHz, which formerly broadcast on 97.1 MHz in Winslow.
