station's studios also had equipment and bombproofing supplied as part of its EBS role. Reuse of the frequency 580 kHz The 580 kHz frequency occupied by KIKX remained vacant for five years, but it was still sought due to the station's low frequency and good coverage of southern Arizona. In 1986, a proposal to revive the frequency on a new license, made by Elliott-Phelps Broadcasting Corporation, was granted over an objection, claiming the applicant had incorrectly stated the defunct radio station's transmitter facilities were available when they had been sold to a real estate developer. This station was built in 1987 with callsign KJMM; it is now KSAZ, which in 1991 was approved to move from the KIKX site to Marana.
