KUNM Radio

Get with the program, KUNM.
Saturday night, 11pm, I flip the dial and I’m immediately asleep. Your weekend programming, during the evenings, is a wreck. The same can generally be said for evenings at large: the music is tired, it doesn’t connect with this city, I’m sick of listening to blues on a Saturday night. I’m not listening. Are you listening to me? I’m not listening.
And that’s a shame, because I tune you in every morning. Religiously. I’m an NPR addict and a big fan of your other shows, from Latino USA (I’m not Latino) to This Way Out (I’m not GLBT) to your awesome call-​in program, I’m interested, but when it comes to music I stream internet music stations instead. Ridiculous. And wrong.
As I stated in the previous review, I recognize that your audience is exceptionally varied, I can identify with your struggle to please every demographic. But it’s time to get with the modern music program, or lose the next generation of listeners entirely.

Listen and donate.
Glisten and rotate.
Missin’ my neonate.

Love this radio station! Whatever you want to hear, or not — it’s better than anything else on the radio almost any time. My favorite: Native America Calling/​Native Voice Radio.

KUNM is the perfect station to listen to when you’re holed up in a dorm room in an icy Santa Fe winter. It’s got an amazing amount of variety for a public radio station. While Oregon&California public stations have a predominantly talk format, New Mexico still has MUSIC! Even in the daytime.
Ear to the ground– Cool local music
Global Music– They play A LOT of
Two hours of world music. Wonderful.
Home of Happy Feet– Folk music. No dancing penguins.
Performance Today– Classical music.
Democracy Now!- Amy Goodman with her «War and Peace Report.» Thankfully, you won’t have to down cranberry vodka to survive Tolstoy’s second epilogue.
New Dimensions– New Agey radio. It’s connected to Petaluma’s Institute of Noetic Sciences.
This Way Out– About the LGBT community.
KUNM is like the mix of Native American, Spanish&Anglo cultures that melded to make New Mexico. It’s a delicious radio potpourri!

Good public radio, eclectic selector. One night I listened to techno behind what sounded like police intercom storytelling. First heard «Indian Car» by Apache Spirit. New Mexico anthem.

You Listen Here Now — Sonic Posole of New Mexico.
Phoenix, my home town, gives you some local and NPR News, the BBC, Diane Rehm, Classic Jazz, and some Blues. It’s fine. What do visitors learn about Arizona from KJZZ? Let me know some time.
When you tune 89.9 in Albuquerque, you are in New Mexico’s rich cultural posole of sound. Native American, Spanish, Mexican, Anglo, African American, African, Arabic, Classical, Jazz, Frre Form, rapping, death metal, total New Mexico. New Mexico, National and International news. The Spirit of FM and Public Radio alive and thriving. When I tune to 89.9 I learn lots about New Mexico.
Did you know the State Gun of Arizona is the Colt .45 Army (Peacemaker) Single Action Revolver? I vote koshari as the state katsina.
