KGVY (1080 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Green Valley, Arizona, and broadcasting to the Tucson metropolitan area. KGVY airs an oldies music format branded as KGVY 1080 AM and 101.5 FM. It is owned by KGVY LLC.

KGVY is a daytimer AM station. It is powered at 1,000 watts non-directional from its transmitter on West Camino Antigua in Sahuarita, Arizona. However, since 1080 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KRLD Dallas and WTIC Hartford, KGVY must go off the air at night to avoid interference. Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator K268DC at 101.5 MHz.

Programming

KGVY plays hits from the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Syndicated programming includes "Goddard's Gold" from United Stations Radio Networks and "Beatle Brunch" from Westwood One. KGVY sponsors multiple business events throughout the year including the "Home and Living Show" and "Senior Information Fair." KGVY also publishes "The KGVY Quarterly" and "The White Elephant" guide as the official paper for the White Elephant Community Foundation.
