KAHM (102.1 FM, "Beautiful Music") is a radio station broadcasting the Beautiful music format. The station is licensed to Prescott, Arizona & serves the Prescott/Flagstaff/Phoenix area. It first began broadcasting on September 9, 1981.

History[]

KAHM went on the air on September 9, 1981, providing the Prescott area with a format of "Beautiful Music" which remains virtually unchanged..

First broadcasting under 1,000 watts, KAHM's signal expanded in the early 1990s to 58,000 watts, serving the people of northern & central Arizona, along with the metropolitan Phoenix market.

KAHM broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and could easily be heard in southern Arizona as far south as Peoria, Scottsdale and Anthem.

Until September 14, 2015, KAHM also had an Internet stream.[1] The stream was ended due to high demand on the server from the spike in listeners following the cancellation of the similarly formatted Sirius XM Escape channel on conventional receivers.[2][3]

Effective January 12, 2018, Southwest Broadcasting sold KAHM (as well as translator K269EE and sister talk KYCA and its translator K278CN) to Phoenix Radio Broadcasting, a holding company for the Cesar Chavez Foundation's Farmworker Educational Radio Network.[4]
