KCNN (97.7 FM) is a country music formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Benson, Arizona, serving western Cochise County and eastern Pima County.[1] KCNN is owned and operated by through licensee Redrock Media Group LLC.[2]
History
A construction permit for a new radio station in Benson was issued in December 1977, with the callsign being awarded in 1979. After several time extensions, KAVV came to air in April 1983.
Founder of KAVV, Paul Lotsof passed away August 2022; his estate would then begin the process of selling the stations in his Stereo 97, Inc. company, including KAVV, which would be sold to Redrock Media Group LLC,[3] who relaunched the station, shifting from the obscure classic country format KAVV to one with more modern country music, now Legendary Country rebranding as "Canyon Country 97.7" under new call-sign KCNN. Redrock Media has received FCC approval for a class upgrade to C-3 25kW and also a Construction Permit allowing a booster FM transmitter to serve the Tucson market. Nielsen has ranked KCNN as number one in several key Cochise County demographics.
In early 2024 Redrock acquired KDAP and KAPR Douglas, Arizona. The Food City Plaza on West Fry in Sierra Vista Arizona houses store front studios for the KCNN operation.[4][5][6] The Federal Communications Commission issued the call sign change effective January 26, 2023.
