KVIT is an FM radio station licensed to Chandler, Arizona, United States, broadcasting on 88.7 FM. KPNG is licensed to the East Valley Institute of Technology; its studios are located at EVIT's main facilities in Mesa, while the transmitter is to the south near Maricopa. The station airs an Adult Top 40 format, with pop and rhythmic hits from the 1990s to present, branded as The Pulse.

History[]

The station was licensed to the Arizona Community Media Foundation, then-operator of Radio Phoenix, but in early 2015, AZCMF sold the station to the East Valley Institute of Technology, which already owned KVIT (90.7 FM) in Apache Junction, for $700,000.[1]

On August 11, 2015, KPNG came to air and replaced KVIT and its then-translator K224CJ. While EVIT maintained ownership of KVIT for another six years, K224CJ, which was independently owned the whole time, now carries KAZG AM 1440. In 2021, EVIT sold the Apache Junction facility to Desert Soul Media, Inc., which had acquired Radio Phoenix earlier in the year; when the sale closed on December 9, the KVIT call letters remained with EVIT and were placed on 88.7, while 90.7 became KRDP.

Programs[]

Programming on KPNG is largely produced by EVIT students and local DJs, though there are exceptions, such as AIA-produced high school football telecasts. The station also carries a limited number of syndicated programs, such as and The Weekend Top 30 with Sean Hamilton.

Radio Phoenix[]

88.7 FM airs three shows originating from community station Radio Phoenix (operated by former KPNG permittee Arizona Community Media Foundation from 2008-2021; now operated by Desert Soul Media, Inc.). These shows include The Althea Long Show (reggae and Caribbean music), My World Of Music (reggae and world music), and Full Moon Hacksaw (traditional jazz and blues).
