Hot On The Move In Phoenix

As Good News Broadcasting Network prepares to close on its $1.5 million purchase of Hot AC “Hot 97.5” KMVA Dewey-Humboldt/Phoenix AZ, Zelus Media has rebranded the station as “Hot 103.9” as it begins pushing its listeners to simulcaster 103.9 KZON Gilbert.

The station is promoting the move with a $10,000 giveaway to a listener who posts a video changing their preset from 97.5 to 103.9. The station’s on-air lineup continues to feature Premiere Networks’ Brooke & Jeffrey in mornings and market veteran Charlie Huero in afternoons.

VP/Programming Jonathan Steele said, “Hot has an incredible connection with its listeners, and we’re excited to bring that energy to our new home at 103.9,. Reset Your Preset is an invitation to make the move with us – and giving one listener $10,000 is a great way to celebrate together.”

Zelus President/CEO Michael Cutchall commented, “This transition represents an exciting investment in Hot and the communities we serve. With an upgraded signal and a coordinated marketing campaign, we’re creating new opportunities to connect with listeners and deliver value for our advertising partners. We look forward to celebrating this next chapter with the Valley.”

KMVA/KZON had a 2.9 share in the September 2026 Nielsen Audio ratings as part of a crowded pop music market that includes Audacy CHR “Live 101.5” KALV-FM at a 2.7 share and iHeartMedia’s duo of Modern AC “Mix 96.9” KMXP with a 4.1 share and CHR “104.7 Kiss-FM” KZZP at a 2.7 share.
