History
KNXN originated with a 1978 application to build a new station on 1470 kHz in Sierra Vista, that was granted the next year.
The station was assigned the call letters KSVA on March 31, 1980, and began regular broadcasting the following June 20th. The call sign changed to KMFI on August 1, 1987, and to KNXN on November 8, 1993.
