KASA (1540 kHz) was a commercial radio station broadcasting a classic regional Mexican radio format. It was licensed to Phoenix, Arizona, and was owned by KASA Radio Hogar, Inc.[2] The studios are on West Baseline Road in Phoenix.

By day, KASA transmitted with 10,000 watts. Because 1540 AM is a clear channel frequency, KASA reduced power at night to 19 watts to avoid interference to other stations. It used a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter was on West Baseline Road in Phoenix at South 15th Avenue.[3] Programming was also heard on 150-watt FM translator K294CW at 106.7 MHz in Phoenix.[4]
