KNAU 88.7 is operating on impaired low power. APS has shut off power to our tower atop Mormon Mountain to service another radio station's meter. APS estimates full power will be restored around midnight Sunday evening/Monday morning.

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.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect for much of the region on Monday, June 19, 2023.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect today for much of northern Arizona Monday.

The National Weather Service in Flagstaff says fire danger is especially high due to strong winds and low humidity. A combination of the two can cause fire to quickly expand before first responders have a chance to contain the blaze.

Winds are forecasted to hit up to 30 miles per hour with gusts of 40 to 50 miles.

The warning applies to northeastern Arizona, the Coconino Plateau and Yavapai County.

The Red Flag Warning is in effect through 8 p.m. Monday.
