KKFR (98.3 FM) is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Mayer, Arizona, and serves the Phoenix metropolitan area. The station is owned and operated by Riviera Broadcast Group and airs a rhythmic hot AC radio format. KKFR broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 41 kW. The station's studios are located on 7th Street in Midtown Phoenix and its transmitter is located in Crown King, Arizona, producing a rimshot signal from 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Phoenix. KKFR is the flagship station of the nationally syndicated program Big Boy's Neighborhood.[1]
KKFR primarily competes against mainstream top 40 stations KZZP and KALV-FM, and classic hip hop station KZCE. This marks the first time in many years that "Power" had significant competition with rival stations in the market.
