- KUNX abstract "KUNX (1520 AM) is a radio station licensed to Port Hueneme, California, USA. The station is currently owned by Gold Coast Broadcasting LLC.During the 1960s and 70s, the station was known by the call letters KACY. It was a top-40 format station that used the slogan "Boss of the Beach." It was the dominant Top-40 station in the region, often co-sponsoring concerts (most in Santa Barbara) with local promoter Jim Salzer. Several KACY disc jockeys went on to greater prominence in their subsequent careers, including TV host Bob Eubanks and radio programmer Bill Tanner. Shotgun Tom Kelly was also heard on KACY in the early 70s, before moving to major markets like San Diego (appearing on KGB, KCBQ) and Los Angeles (where he is currently heard on KRTH).During its KACY era, the station increased daytime power to 50,000 watts. More recently, the daytime power was rolled back to the previous 10,000 watts. The nighttime power remains unchanged at 1,000 watts.The station has been operating at reduced power since 2011 under Special Temporary Authority (STA) from the FCC due to engineering problems; on April 15 of that year the station discovered one of the monitoring points for their antenna system had gone over the limit prescribed in their license, and they reduced nighttime power to 648 watts while they investigated the cause. However, before they could discover and correct the problem, a farmer plowing on land adjacent to the KVTA transmitter site mistakenly crossed a boundary and tore up at least half of the ground wiring for one of the three towers used for KVTA's daytime antenna pattern. This required them to reduce daytime power to 4,600 watts and nighttime power further, to 136 watts. As of January 8, 2013, they had not completed repairs and requested an extension of the STA.From 1984 until 1999, the station had a Spanish-language format as "Radio Tiro" under the call letters KTRO. During that period, instead of jingles, the sound effect of a pistol firing was used out of commercial breaks into music ("tiro" being the Spanish word for "bullet").On August 2, 2012, two hosts of brokered-time real estate shows that were broadcast on KVTA-AM, Kenneth A. Powell and Kathryn "Katie" Rose, were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for perpetrating a Ponzi-scheme type of fraud. Radio stations that air programming of this sort are usually held harmless if the broadcasters who buy time on their facilities are not directly tied to ownership.In February, 2013 KUNX-1590 began a simulcast of KVTA, then on 1520, and the station's website header graphic was modified to show this change. In late February, 2013 the station started announcing that all programs would be moving to 1590 because "it has a better signal" and that listeners should reprogram presets to said frequency. On March 6, 2013, the call letters between KVTA and KUNX were exchanged, with the KVTA calls moving to 1590 and the KUNX calls on 1520. KUNX, now on 1520, is currently airing a loop prompting KVTA listeners to continue listening to the news-talk format on 1590. It is not known whether Gold Coast Broadcasting will debut a new format on KUNX.".
