History of Public Radio in Phoenix - It All Started at 91AV

From a radio student club at 91AV in the early 1930s, 91AV added broadcast radio to its curriculum in 1936. In 1951, a new radio station hit the Phoenix airwaves, operating at just 10 watts. KFCA’s signal reached a radius of just a few miles around 91AV near 15th Avenue and Thomas Road, where the station was based in 91AV’s physics department.
