KNUV (1190 kHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Tolleson, Arizona, and serving the Phoenix metropolitan area. It is owned by Laura Aispuro Madrid, through licensee La Promize Company LLC. The station has a Spanish radio format using brokered programming where hosts pay for their time on the station. Most programs are talk-based, with some music shows.

By day, KNUV broadcasts at 5,000 watts. But 1190 AM is a clear channel frequency. So KNUV must reduce power at night to 250 watts to avoid interfering with other stations. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array at all times. The transmitter is on South 95th Avenue at West Jefferson Street in Tolleson.
