KFLX (92.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a 80's hits format. Licensed to Chino Valley, Arizona, USA, it serves the Flagstaff-Prescott area. The station is currently owned by Grenax Broadcasting II, LLC.

History

KFLX signed on the air in January 1989 by Standard Communications of Dallas who also owned KSLX-FM in nearby Phoenix which is now owned by Hubbard Broadcasting, KBLX-FM in San Francisco now owned by Entercom Communications and KPLX in Dallas owned by Cumulus Media. In 1993, Standard sold their stations, including KFLX, to Pfaltzgraff Broadcasting, who also owned KTCK in Dallas, KFOG in San Francisco, WARM in York, and WMOJ & WRRM in Cincinnati. Pfaltzgraff intended to move the station to Mayer, Arizona and target it to the Phoenix area, but once it was clear such a move would not occur, the station was sold again, this time to Flagstaff United. In turn, Flagstaff United was bought by Red Rock Communications later in 1993. Red Rock Communications continued to own the station until it and sisters KWMX-FM and KSED-FM were sold in 2007 to Grenax Broadcasting II, LLC who also owned WCFX in Mount Pleasant, MI.

In January 2009 105.1 The Canyon, along with sister stations 96.7 The WOLF and 107.5 KOLT Country, moved into state of the art studios on 4th Street in Flagstaff.

In July 2010 KFLX moved to 92.5 FM licensed to Chino Valley, AZ. Sister station KBTK took the 105.1 frequency licensed to Kachina Village as 105.1 The Big Talker.

In January 2012, 92.5/104.1 began promoting that they were "pressing the big red button on the 20th" and to tune in at 9:25 am that morning to find out what the stations were up to (along with that, several songs in that span were played in reverse). On that day at that time, KFLX began playing sound clips of songs, commercials and TV shows from the 1980s, and introduced an 80's hits format on the stations, branded as "Rewind 92.5 & 104.1". The last 2 songs on The Canyon were It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M and the first 90 seconds of A Change Would Do You Good by Sheryl Crow. The first 2 songs on Rewind were The Go-Go's We Got The Beat and Michael Jackson's Billie Jean [1]
