KFNZ (1320 AM) was a radio station broadcasting a sports format. Licensed to Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, the station served the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The station's studios were located in South Salt Lake (behind the I-15/I-80 interchange) and its transmitter site was located in Murray.
The station was established in 1922 as KDYL. In 1927, it was on 1220 kHz and moved to 1160 kHz. In 1929, it moved to 1290 kHz. In 1941, it moved to 1320 kHz as a result of the NARBA agreement. KFNZ went silent in February 2017.
KFNZ was the flagship for the Utah Grizzlies. KFNZ was also responsible for providing analysis and coverage for BYU Cougars, University of Utah Utes, Salt Lake Bees, Utah State Aggies, and Weber State Wildcats. KFNZ also featured programming from CBS Sports Radio.
The station first went on the air in 1922, and originally held the call sign KDYL. Its license was granted on May 8, 1922. The station was constructed by Ira J. Kaar for A.L. Fish and the Salt Lake Telegram. When it went on the air in 1922, it shared a frequency with two other commercial stations in Salt Lake City. In 1926, the station was purchased by Sidney S. Fox. Fox later invested in the construction of its sister stations, KDYL-FM and KDYL-TV (now KTVX). On September 1, 1932, KDYL became an NBC Radio affiliate, switching from CBS. In 1953, Fox sold KDYL and its FM and TV sister stations to Time-Life Corporation for $2.1 million.
