History
100.7 signed on August 1, 1969 as KDOT-FM "K-Dot", a beautiful music station co-owned with KDOT (1440 AM). Owned by Central Arizona Broadcasting, KDOT-FM broadcast beautiful music from studios on the second floor of a building adjacent to the Safari Resort hotel, on Scottsdale Road just north of Camelback Road in Scottsdale.
In 1978, First Media Corporation acquired KDOT and its AM counterpart, then known as KSGR, and flipped the stations to Top 40 as simulcasting KOPA-AM-FM. The call sign KOPA was pronounced "copa" and reflected the last two syllables of Maricopa County (home to Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area).
The station operated as KOPA until February 5, 1986, when the station's call sign and format were changed again, to KSLX-FM. KSLX hosted a popular morning program in the late 1980s, the "Jones and Boze Show", featuring David K. Jones and Bob Boze Bell. Bell is a popular local western artist and writer (and co-owner and Executive Editor of True West Magazine since 1999).

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
