KFNN (1510 kHz) is a commercial business news formatted radio station licensed to Mesa, Arizona, broadcasting from studios located in North Scottsdale, Arizona, on 1510 AM, and simulcast on 105.3 FM. KFNN is owned by CRC Broadcasting Company, Inc., headed by Ronald Cohen and Brian DuBose, which also owns KPSF and KXPS, both located in the Palm Springs, California area, and a financial expo company called Financial Fest. KFNN began airing primarily nationally syndicated content, and now has an extensive lineup of local and national money related programs. They have been serving the greater Phoenix community as a business/financial station since 1988. They are distinguished as the first full-time financial format of its kind in the U.S.
1510 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency. WLAC in Nashville, Tennessee is the dominant Class A station on this frequency. KFNN must reduce nighttime power in order to prevent interference to WLAC's nighttime skywave signal.
In the 1960s the station was known as KMND ("Command Radio"), simulcasting an easy listening music format with KMND-FM. By 1971 both stations were known as KDKB, playing an Album Oriented Rock format.
In 1978, the simulcast was broken and 1510 kHz changed formats to oldies. The call letters were changed to KDJQ. In 1980, the format at AM KDJQ changed to new wave music for a brief time.
The station became KNTS on November 6, 1984. On August 23, 1986, the station changed its call sign to KJAA, then on December 12, 1988 to the current KFNN.
