KCNM (1080 AM) was a radio station licensed to Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, which aired a Talk format. It was an affiliate of Fox News. The final owner was Cecilia Lifoifoi, through licensee Holonet Corporation.

History[edit]

The station was first licensed, as WSZE, on 1053 kHz. The station was assigned the KCNM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on September 1, 1984.[1] In 1995, KCNM applied to move to 1080 kHz.[2]

The station usually played country music, and once provided broadcasting in chamorro and carolinian at a limited time period.[3] It became a news station from 2002.[3]

The station's license was deleted on March 6, 2020.[4]
