New Mexico is the Land of Enchantment — and its radio landscape is equally diverse, spanning Native American communities, Spanish-language stations serving the state's large Hispanic population, country music for the ranching communities, and public radio from some of the country's finest universities. Albuquerque is already covered; here we highlight stations from Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Roswell, and beyond.
Santa Fe Radio Stations
KANW 89.1 FM — New Mexico's Mariachi & Latino Public Radio
KANW 89.1 FM is a one-of-a-kind public radio station broadcasting from Albuquerque Public Schools, featuring New Mexico's rich Hispanic musical heritage: mariachi, New Mexico music, corridos, and public affairs in Spanish and English. In a state where nearly 50% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, KANW reflects the cultural reality that makes New Mexico unique in the American Southwest.
KSFR 90.7 FM — Santa Fe Public Radio
KSFR 90.7 FM is Santa Fe's community public radio station, airing NPR news, jazz, folk, and arts coverage for New Mexico's capital city — a city renowned worldwide as one of America's premier arts destinations. With the Santa Fe Opera, more galleries per capita than almost anywhere in the US, and a deep Native American arts tradition, KSFR has extraordinary cultural material to work with. An essential stream for arts lovers anywhere.
Las Cruces Radio Stations
KRWG 90.7 FM — New Mexico State University Public Radio
KRWG 90.7 FM is the NPR-affiliate public radio station from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, serving the Mesilla Valley and southern New Mexico.

Roswell Radio Stations
KBCQ 98.1 FM — Country Radio for Southeast New Mexico
KBCQ 98.1 FM serves Roswell and Southeast New Mexico with country music for the Pecos Valley's ranching and oil-patch communities. Famous worldwide for its 1947 "UFO crash" (and the tourism industry built around it), Roswell is in reality a working agricultural and energy city. KBCQ's country format speaks to the real Roswell — the one that gets up at 4 AM to work cattle, not chase aliens.
Taos Radio Stations
KTAO 101.9 FM — Solar-Powered Radio for Taos
KTAO 101.9 FM is a beloved listener-supported station in Taos that runs entirely on solar power — fitting for a mountain arts community known for its environmental consciousness and off-grid culture.
