The transmitters of KVOI is located in West Massingale Road. At day, it operates a 10,000 power to protect any interference with class A clear channel stations, such as WBZ in Boston, Massachusetts. At night, it reduces the power to 1,000 to avoid any interference.

Weekday programs on KVOI include: Wake Up Tucson, Tipping Point with Zach Yentzer, Bill Buckmaster, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, Kate Delaney and Tom Sullivan.

In July 2018, Good News Communications agreed to sell KVOI to Bustos Media; the sale was consummated on October 31, 2018.
