Hourly newscasts are from Salem's Townhall Radio News.

KDAZ is a Class D radio station. By day, it broadcasts at 450 watts. AM 700 is a clear-channel frequency in the United States, so KDAZ must protect Class A station WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio. At night, KDAZ reduces power to 55 watts to avoid interference. Programming is also heard on FM translator K245CD at 96.9 MHz in Albuquerque. The station first signed on as KMGM in 1959.

It would simulcast KDAZ on the FM band at 70 watts from atop Sandia Crest. The translator was licensed on October 13, 2016 as K245CD. However it had not begun broadcasting until early 2017. In December 2016 Pan American Broadcasting purchased the translator from Mountain Community Translators for $30,000. The power was upgraded from 70 watts to 160 watts in early March 2017.
