History

100.7 signed on August 1, 1969 as KDOT-FM "K-Dot", a beautiful music station co-owned with KDOT. Owned by Central Arizona Broadcasting, KDOT-FM broadcast beautiful music from studios on the second floor of a building adjacent to the Safari Resort hotel, on Scottsdale Road just north of Camelback Road in Scottsdale.
In 1978, First Media Corporation acquired KDOT and its AM counterpart, then known as KSGR, and flipped the stations to Top 40 as simulcasting KOPA-AM-FM. The call sign KOPA was pronounced "copa" and reflected the last two syllables of Maricopa County.
The station operated as KOPA until February 5, 1986, when the station call signs, owners and format were changed again. Standard Communications purchased the radio station and renamed it KSLX-FM which would later reflect on sister stations KPLX Dallas, KBLX Berkeley and KFLX Flagstaff. KSLX hosted a popular morning program in the late 1980s, the "Jones and Boze Show", featuring David K. Jones and Bob Boze Bell. Bell is a popular local western artist and writer. The station would later be acquired by Sandusky as a sister station to KDKB and KUPD, thus creating a rock cluster in the market.
In 2017 KSLX ascended to the top of the Phoenix ratings for the first time in its 31 year history. The station now plays Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Journey, the Beatles, Pat Benatar, the Rolling Stones and more. The on-air line-up is Mark and Neanderpaul from 5-10am weekdays, followed by Randi Scott 10am-2pm, Pete Cummings hosts 2-7pm, Russ Egan is on 7pm-11pm with the syndicated Nights with Alice Cooper show from 11pm-1am.
