The show’s strong focus on local news includes key events, government
and politics, the arts and entertainment, business and the economy, the environment, and so much more. This Week in Las Cruces airs every Friday morning at 8:40 only on Radio KTAL, 101.5 FM, and online at lccommunityradio.org. Listen to the first episodes here. KTAL Programs To Be In National Archive
KTAL-LP has been invited to contribute a selection of programs to be preserved by the American Archive of Public Broadcasting! AAPB is a collaboration between WGBH in Boston and the Library of Congress, with the mission “to preserve and make accessible…at-risk public media…” Hundreds of public radio and television stations have preserved thousands of hours of local programs in both analog and digital formats.
The project has a special grant to include local public radio and television productions from New Mexico, and we have been asked to contribute “local news and culturally-oriented programming reflecting our unique community.” With plenty of excellent material recorded over four years of broadcasting, we are delighted to join this important national preservation effort! News Grant Powers KTAL
Thanks to the New Mexico Local News Fund, KTAL radio has received a generous grant of $8,700 to help expand our revenue through two exciting projects:
