History
KGAN signed on October 7, 1949.[2] It broadcast with 250 watts on 1230 kHz.[3] The station, an ABC affiliate, was sold in early 1956 by original owner J. James Glancy to Wallace Stone and John F. Holbrook for $25,000;[4] the new owners changed the call letters to the present KAAA on February 19, 1956.Template:R Stone bought out Holbrook two years later, and in 1963, the station was authorized to increase daytime power to 1,000 watts.Template:R Stone sold KAAA in 1971 for $225,000 to Sun Mountain Broadcasting, the principals of which included an FM station applicant in Lake Havasu City and a station salesman.[5] Under Sun Mountain, a companion FM station, KZZZ 92.7 (now KFLG-FM 94.7), was launched. By the time KAAA-KZZZ was sold to Mohave Sun Broadcasting in 1981,[6] KAAA broadcast a mixed Top 40-country format.[7]
In 2001, KAAA was consolidated with KZZZ at that station's Bullhead City studio base. The former Kingman studio and transmitter building was demolished in 2014 to allow redevelopment of the land.[8] Cameron currently maintains studios in Kingman, Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City.
