KFNN (1510 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Mesa, Arizona, and serving the Phoenix metropolitan area. News Talk Radio in Phoenix, it airs a financial news and talk radio format, broadcasting from studios in North Scottsdale. KFNN is owned by CRC Broadcasting Company, Inc., headed by Ronald Cohen. The company also owns sports radio 1580 The Fanatic KQFN, as well as KJJZ 102.7 The Fanatic in the Palm Springs area, and a financial expo called Financial Fest. KFNN has a lineup of local and national money related programs, with some nationally syndicated conservative talk show hosts. KFNN says it had the first full-time financial format of its kind in the U.S., starting in 1988.
By day, KFNN is powered at 22,000 watts. However, because 1510 AM is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A WLAC Nashville, Tennessee, KFNN must reduce nighttime power to only 100 watts to prevent interference. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on Black Mountain Boulevard at Rough Rider Road in Phoenix.[2] KFNN can also be heard on FM translator K287BX at 105.3 MHz in Mesa.
