KDUS (1060 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Tempe, Arizona, and serving the Phoenix metropolitan area. It airs a sports radio format and is an affiliate of the Vegas Stats & Information Network, along with some programming from Fox Sports Radio. It is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc., with the license held by Phoenix FCC License Sub, LLC. Its studios are on North 52nd Street west of Papago Park.
By day, KDUS is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But 1060 AM is a clear channel frequency. So at night, it reduces power to 500 watts to avoid interference with Class A stations KYW Philadelphia and XECPAE Mexico City. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array after sunset. The transmitter is on Calle Bella Vista near Interstate 10 in Guadalupe.[2] The station can also be heard on HD Radio receivers at 100.7 FM KSLX-FM-HD2.
