This week's Radio Station Spotlight is a bit different in that it doesn't stream on the Internet. To listen to KCDX you actually have to be in Arizona using an actual radio. On top of it all, I have never actually listened to KCDX so I am not talking about this station from personal experience. Why am I listing a station that I have never listened to and that only broadcasts in some state where I will most probably not be able to visit to check it out for myself? Very simple.…

I discovered KCDX, or KFMB as it is also known about 2 months ago. I live in Rainbow Valley and the reception doesn't get too good till I cross the Gila River. I only listen to radio while driving and this station is a Godsend. No more mattress ads and music that doesn't insult the listener and the artists who made it.

Man, I love this station.
There was an article in the Arizona Daily Star that turned me on to this station. As a former college DJ, I love the openness of the format. I also love that he is super secretive (Ted) as to how he runs his station. This is the best damn station I have ever heard...a close second is WXRT in Chicago. After a week of listening, I still have yet to hear the same song. Honestly. I just wished that I lived within the vicinity of the true spectrum of the station itself and not having to resort to listening to it over the web.

Who would of thunk it that there could be such a great Rock'n Roll radio station like KCDX here in Arizona. Speaking for myself as a "Baby Boomer",
I started listening to this contagiuos radio station 2 months ago and can't get enough of the what I call " The other songs" of musical artist. To hear "A horse with no name" by America just makes my day. Thank you Ted Tucker also after reading the article in the Arizona Republic I can stop thinking that the music was coming from a prison cell.

I have the presets for both in my car, the part I like is all the reminders of those great stations the Storm in AJ or WXRT in Chicago where I grew up, driving from Waukegan to Mundelien or Palatine Ill when I was in high school & college & then Jeff Parrets & Andy Olsen on the Storm in the '80's. So my response is keep Rockin Ted, we in the 40's & 50's wasteland applaud you for your continued real FM sound & if there's any music I can donate to the cause let me know....JM

When I first discovered KCDX I had the same feeling of excitement that I had when KZON first came on the air. I tried to stick with that station through its many changes over the years. I'm glad KCDX came along when it did!

I recently heard a song on the station I have no idea what the song or artist was but the only lyrics i could remember were, "Biker bar next to a lingerie store, thats got the rolling stones lips up there in, bright big neon, where everyone can see 'em...they burn all night, they burn all night"Please if somebody out there knows this song please do tell who and what it is. It is a hard rock song but is played slowly, he also is not really singing it more talking it to the rhythm. If any one knows please contact me or post it. Thank You.

We live here in sunny AZ and discovered this station last year while driving in Casa Grande. Since I can drive right by the station I always want to drag it home with me. The best music since Storm left us high and dry!!! The best part is NO TALKING HEADS!!!!! Just the very best of the B sides and what the REGULAR stations would never [;ay, like the whole version od Inagodadivida. Please always stay the way radio should be, and you are.

Oh God why did you guys have to mention the Storm? I walked around depressed for days when that went off the air!!
KCDX is about all I listen to on the radio for the last few years. I have a Sirius box at work because I can't get KCDX there. Hel lwe can't even cell phone reception in that building!

I worked on the NAU campus AM radio station in the early 80's and this is the type of music we played. I live in Mesa and listen to this station whenever I am in my car. I can't get good reception in my apartment. But they are now streaming on the internet. I hope they are around a long, long time.

I live in Gilbert and love FM. This station is what FM once was.Commercial free.
You would have to be alive in the 1960s to experience commerical free rock FM.
I am in antenna manufacureing buis and had many requests for FM antennas that can receive this station from the greater Phoenix area.I sold one to someone who lives near Camelback mountain and 56 th st..He is receiving this station from a reflected bounce off the mountain loud and clear.
