History
KASA signed on in 1966, reviving a callsign that had once been assigned to a radio station in Elk City, Oklahoma. It was a religious station, the second in Phoenix behind
KHEP at 1280, and was built by Seattle-based Eastside Broadcasting, which also owned four religious radio stations in Washington state.
In April 1980, it built and signed on an FM sister station,
KMLE, which broadcast a mix of religious programs and easy-listening music.
The station switched from English to Spanish, retaining its religious format, in the mid-1990s.
In 2018, this station relaunched as "La Indiscreta FM" with a Regional Mexican format.
