History

KAZM first signed on the air on November 1, 1974. The station throughout the years ran a couple of formats. First as MOR and then later adult contemporary from 1984 until the 1990s. It would then become a "brokered" News/Talk/Sports/Classic Rock/Oldies station. By the end of 2023, KAZM switched to Mellow Mountain Radio which is a full-service format, consisting of local, state, and national news coverage every hour interspersed with songs within the Soft Oldies music genre (focused more specifically on the subgenre of "Yacht Rock"). KAZM also carries live play-by-play coverage of Arizona-based sports teams, and talk shows such as Coast To Coast AM.
