What 100.7 KSLX does

100.7 KSLX is a classic rock FM radio station licensed to broadcast at 100.7 MHz in the Phoenix metropolitan area, operating as a brand within Hubbard Radio Phoenix, LLC — a subsidiary of Hubbard Broadcasting. Founded in 1986, the station serves adults 25-54 in Phoenix with continuous classic rock programming from artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, and The Rolling Stones, delivered through over-the-air FM broadcast, mobile applications on iOS and Android, an Amazon Alexa voice skill, web streaming, and an on-demand podcast network featuring shows including Dave & Mahoney, Behind The Song: Classic Rock Chronicles, Professor of Rock, Hysteria 51, and Stupiracy. The station's on-air lineup includes morning hosts Dave Farra, Jason Mahoney, and Audrey Drake; afternoon hosts LP (Long Paul) and Karen Dalessandro; and feature programming with Alice Cooper and Adam Reader.

The station generates revenue through three advertising-driven streams: on-air and digital spot advertising, event sponsorships (including recurring branded events such as Cause for Paws with Fulton Homes and the annual April Foods Day food drive with St. Mary's Food Bank), and contest/promotion integrations such as the Hyundai-sponsored Summer Cash Contest. Distribution is multi-platform but not paywalled — listeners access content free in exchange for ad exposure, and the station monetizes audience reach through local and regional advertisers spanning entertainment venues, consumer brands, automotive, real estate, and government partners. KSLX operates as part of a five-station Phoenix cluster alongside 98KUPD, ALT AZ 93-3, OLDIES 92-7, and KDUS AM 1060, with shared back-office infrastructure at 1100 N. 52nd St., Phoenix.
