I also vaguely remember that they had another interesting call a number of years ago: KAKA. I don't believe that call lasted too long. Much more appropriate for AM radio now than it was then. - John On Oct 29, 2014, at 9:04 AM, Mike Sanburn wrote: Kind of sad that the station formerly

Just to update my reply, around lunchtime today I checked this out on the car radio for 15 minutes. Did not hear anything at all on 1250 (KHIL is about 215 miles away, 10 kW ND), but had steady decent audio for Comedy 1260 KBSZ out of Apache Junction in the same direction (~100 miles away, 4.5

I just got word that KHIL Wilcox AZ is no longer Country. I have not seen this reported, unless I missed it somewhere. KHIL is calling themselves X Wave and running some 1970's Oldies format. I would think CW would fit the Wilcox area better than Oldies. I cannot find any mention of a format
