KGVY is a daytimer AM station. It is powered at 1,000 watts non-directional from its transmitter on West Camino Antigua in Sahuarita, Arizona.[1] But 1080 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KRLD Dallas and WTIC Hartford. So to avoid interference, KGVY must go off the air at night. Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator K268DC at 101.5 MHz.

Programming

KGVY plays hits from the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Syndicated programming includes "Goddard's Gold" from United Stations Radio Networks and "Beatle Brunch" from Westwood One. KGVY sponsors multiple business events throughout the year including the "Home and Living Show" and "Senior Information Fair." KGVY also publishes "The KGVY Quarterly" and "The White Elephant" guide as the official paper for the White Elephant Community Foundation.

History

The station signed on the air on September 23, 1981 (September 23, 1981).[2]
