KNST is a news/talk radio station in Tucson, Arizona, broadcasting at 790 kHz. The station serves the greater Tucson area, including the nearby enclaves of Marana, Oro Valley, Green Valley, Sahuarita, Sierra Vista, and Vail. Its studios are located north of downtown Tucson along Oracle Road, while the transmitter site is in West Tucson.
KNST is the tenth-most-listened-to commercial radio station in Tucson. (including noncommercial radio stations, KNST rates 13th).
KNST's weekday lineup parallels most iHeartMedia, Inc. talk stations. It includes Tucson's Morning Show with News Anchor Paul Birmingham, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Dave Ramsey, Michael Savage, Coast to Coast AM, and The Wall Street Journal This Morning. Because Arizona, unlike the vast majority of the United States, opts out of annual daylight saving time changes, the aforementioned programs (except Tucson's Morning Show) air on a one-hour tape delay from mid-March to early-November.
As well as local news every day, the stations also deliver newscasts from Fox News Radio every half hour.
Weekend programs and hosts include: Ric Edelman, Cigar Dave, Armed American Radio, The Jesus Christ Show, Kim Komando, Bob Brinker, Bill Cunningham, Coast to Coast AM, and The Wall Street Journal This Weekend. Local how-to programming covers auto repair with "Under The Hood with Mark Salem", gardening and home repair with Rosie Romero's "Rosie On The House" (originating from its flagship station KTAR-FM in Phoenix), and money saving, sustainability savvy with "Mrs. Green Goes Mainstream".
