I should add that sometime after KFOX 1280 dropped Country and became KFRN Religious. 93.5 acquired the K-FOX calls and went to an AC type format. Now KFOX is on 1650 a Korean language station.

Have you heard KNAC.com?
No because they don't stream
Apparently requires a Winamp player MP3 Broadband. Google KNAC and click on Listen
In addition to those cited by others here, there are two I can think of in Phoenix.
1230 AM went religion in 1978 (after a long run as Top 40 KRIZ), was sold and brought back as an AC (KAMJ) in 1986. It's been KOY since 1999.
107.9 FM was brokered religion until 1988 when Shamrock bought them and it became Country KMLE---which it is to this day.
BTW, what happened to the original 550 KOY?
It went Sportstalk as KGME in 1999, then in 2000, swapped frequencies with newstalk KFYI (910 AM).
Just curious because I always thought that 550 has the best (at least daytime) coverage in Arizona.
Daytime, 550 and 620 have about the same coverage. Nights, directional 620 is better in some directions and not as good in others.

And the Phoenix metro has grown so far in all directions that neither station's night pattern adequately covers the market (important for several months of the year when part of both morning and afternoon drive are on night pattern).
I nominate 10-Q
Here in SoCal Phoenix 550 is very difficult because of co-channel from Bakersfield.Daytime, 550 and 620 have about the same coverage. Nights, directional 620 is better in some directions and not as good in others.

And interference from 540/Tijuana also wipes out 550 in San Diego. But ever since the 620 station south of Rosarito Beach went dark, you can now hear 620 Phoenix in San Diego at night.
