KDUS (A.M. 1060), "NBC Sports Radio AM 1060," is a sports talk radio station broadcasting out of Tempe, Arizona and serving the Phoenix metropolitan radio market. It is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc. and licensed to Phoenix FCC License Sub, LLC. Its studios are located in Tempe and its transmitter is in Guadalupe.
KDUS local programming consists of 11 hours Monday through Friday. Evening, overnight and weekend programming is syndicated by NBC Sports Radio. The station also has a history of carrying play-by-play for various Valley sports teams.
KDUS was the flagship station of the National Hockey League's Phoenix Coyotes on AM from the team's first year in 1996 through the 2007-08 season, after which its rights were acquired by KGME.
KDUS carried the National Football League's Arizona Cardinals on AM from 1997 through the 2004 season, after which its rights were acquired by KTAR.
Since the AM signal of KDUS doesn't completely cover the Phoenix area, particularly at night, both the Cardinals and Coyotes arranged to have their games simulcast on FM sister stations KDKB or KSLX-FM.
Currently, KDUS is the radio home of Notre Dame football. The station also broadcasts AIA high school sports, as well as NCAA and NFL football games and NCAA men's basketball games via the Sports USA Radio Network or Compass Media Networks. KDUS is the flagship station for Arizona State University baseball and Arizona State Sun Devils Women's Basketball.
