Programming Changes on KIKO and KIKO-FM
As of yesterday, KIKO-FM 97.3 has switched to an all comedy format, featuring a mixture of established comedians and newcomers. KIKO-FM's signal covers not only Globe-Miami but also a big chunk of Central Arizona, including the East Valley in the Phoenix metro area.
Oldies lovers will notice an improvement in the music featured after 10:am on KIKO-AM 1340. Instead of playing mostly songs from the 1970's, we're bringing back many more songs from the 1960's and even a few from the 50's.

New Nutrition Standards for School Lunches
The US Department of Agriculture has introduced new nutrition standards that will require schools to add more fruits and vegetables to lunches served through the National School Lunch Program. The rules also set calorie limits and gradually reduce the amount of sodium and trans fat.
The Arizona Republic reports that the changes will be phased in over three years beginning July 1.
The new standards are part of a national focus on childhood obesity and the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.
The USDA also wanted to limit starchy vegetables to one cup a week but backed off after potato growers lobbied against it.

The Tucson Sentinel reports that Tucson Republican Jonathon Paton has announced that he is running for Congress in the re-designed First Congressional District. The district now stretches from Oro Valley—just north of Tucson—to the Utah Border.

Current District 1 Congressman Paul Gosar has announced that he is moving from Flagstaff to Prescott to run in the newly aligned Congressional District 4.
