KNAG 90.3 FM Grand Canyon is back on-air. Our engineers have repaired transmitter equipment on the ground but suspect the tower-mounted antenna may have sustained damage & are working to locate the problem; further repairs to come... Thanks so very much to our dedicated listeners in the region for their patience & support!

KNAU Arizona Public Radio is integrating new audio software into both news and classical services. We thank you for your patience and support through the transition.

Omicron booster now open to Arizona children

Arizona children ages 5 and older can now receive the updated COVID-19 vaccine boosters targeting Omicron subvariants.

The Arizona Department of Health Services says the booster includes protection against the highly transmissible and immune-evading variants that dominate today and boosts immune protection that wanes with time.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the Pfizer bivalent vaccine for ages 5-11 years and the Moderna bivalent vaccine for ages 6-17 years earlier this week.

Vaccine providers can be found at azhealth.gov/FindVaccine.
