KNMX
Radio station in Las Vegas–Santa Fe, New Mexico
KNMX (540 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Las Vegas, New Mexico, serving the Santa Fe area. The station is owned by Sangre De Cristo Broadcasting Co, Inc.[1] It broadcasts a Spanish language radio format of New Mexico music with some Regional Mexican and Ranchera music.
By day, KNMX is powered at 5,000 watts. But because 540 AM is a Mexican and Canadian clear-channel frequency, KNMX must reduce nighttime power to only 20 watts to prevent skywave interference to the dominant Class A stations on this frequency. It uses a directional antenna at all times.[2] Programming is also heard on FM translator 99.9 MHz K260DJ.[3]
