KUNM-FM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The public radio station KUNM-FM broadcasts on FM 89.9 Mhz from the third floor of Oñate Hall, on the campus of the University of New Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As of 2004, KUNM had repeaters in Arroyo Seco, Cuba, Dzilth-Na-O-Dit, Eagle Nest, Las Vegas, Socorro and Taos. It features a range of locally produced music shows, news coverage, and public affairs programming.
The station is funded through a combination of listener sponsorship and underwriting by local businesses, student fees, and other sources. Listener support accounts for approximately 50% of the station's operating budget.

KUNM first went on air 19 October 1966. It was originally an AM station, broadcast from the basement of the Student Union Building (SUB), and could be heard within a few blocks of the SUB.
KUNM was one of the first radio stations to carry Amy Goodman's "Democracy Now."
The station's programming is also provided in streaming digital format from its website.
The transmitter atop the crest of the Sandia Mountains (Sandia Crest) was upgraded to digital in November 2006.
Five times a week, the live call-in show Native America Calling originates from KUNM's "Studio 49". Native America Calling is the only nationally syndicated call-in talk show produced by Native Americans, focusing on Native issues.
In fall of 2006, the in-house, half-hour "Evening Report" was reformatted to include local and regional news stories interspersed with NPR's national news.
