I would have to say that Energy would be my pick . . . signal is horrible, jocks suck and the music is only good if you're whacked out of your skull on (insert drug here).

KFNX hands down! In fact, they get the Arizona Lifetime Achievement Award for Bad Radio. Why? Programming, past and present:
Neo-nazis.
Programs that advertise products to cleanse private body parts.
Post-midnight rap shows where the F-word was used every other sentence.
Michael Savage.
Not to mention their lack of following FCC rules regarding turning down their power at night. How in the world did former professionals like Mohan, Dayl, and Goyette get hooked up with this schlockmeister outfit?
Dishonorable mention goes to: KXAM, all AM stations owned by Gumpdusky and Salem, any FM station licensed to the Payson or Prescott areas that claim to be Phoenix stations but barely make it south of Camelback Rd.

KFNX wins in a squeaker over KXAM.
Both stations are unconcerned with actual listeners or quality.
KFNX has colon cleanser infomercials for hours at a time and scam artist gold salesmen pretending to be patriots. And now they have hired the biggest local joke Charles Goyette to do another show. And of course nazis and serial killers are welcome for their own shows.
KXAM is a tax writeoff and a way for a wealthy family to find work for their idiot son Matt. So, rather than anything good, you get synchophantic resturant reviewers who only seem to like those resturants that advertise on their show, and 10 years of repeats of Matt Gerson talking about the current issues of the day, like the 1998 elections.

#1 KFNX... That lineup couldn't make a dent if you poked it in warm ice cream.
#1a KXAM... Not much better, It's amazing how it's still around... If your looking for white sound... You've found it on the XAM.
#2 KNRJ... ( Take out the DJ's, the constant rotating PSA's, and the obvious relationship between Sierra H & Helloooooooooo ARIZONA... and its listenable )... I also noted how more of the old school hits from Mega are passed onto NRJ... Why have them on Mega in the 1st place?... ( I mean play Disco on NRJ too while your at it... Dance music was after all an off - shoot of that genre ).
#3 Mega... ( See #2... Also how programming likes to play "Ring around the rosies", when it comes to the air staff... just another indicator of how nothing seems to work for this once promising local station ).

(1) KFNX — they should lose their license to broadcast, given the grave disservice and assault they commit to the Valley listenership. Dedicating a majority of air time to infomercial broadcasts might be OK (I said "might") on a cable channel outfit because of the sheer numbers of broadcast stations. Not true as their are a small finite set of AM/FM station spots. And before somebody jumps in with an argument about satellite radio or internet podcasts/streams (of which I do partake in FREE of charge ones…), remember (a) consumers thus far have emphatically rejected "pay radio" and (b) most radio listening is done in car or locales away from computer (again, I can stream to any place in house, with the nifty Airport Express thingy, but speaking of the statistical average here…).
To me, Goyette, is lone bright spot — while he can go off on boring monologues, I find the guests he brings on very interesting and knowledgeable, discourse way above the sycophantic support KFYI throws behind the neoconservative cause or the sucking up of KTAR to local officials and power brokers.
(2) KXAM — what a waste, as an "independent" station, they could offer so much more, but like stated in earlier post, they're just cheap bastards interested in having a tax writeoff toy for their inept and socially challenged son…
(3) KKNT — "the Patriot", do we really need 24/7 syndicated neocon talker blowhards in addition to the fill already slewed at us from other stations?
(4) Do we really need all the Christian broadcasting stations that exist? I say this as someone who actually listens to some Christian broadcast programming, but just indiscriminately giving any old pastor a microphone and regurgitating recordings from speakers who've been dead for decades is well, scraping the bottom…
(5) With KTAR planning to go all-sports (and pending whether or not 860 AM will simulcast or be put to death or made into full time Spanish language sports station…, that makes 4 stations in the Valley devoted to sports radio. Is there that much of a demand for sports radio? Especially given the level of quality which is near "scraping the bottom".
