Speaking of Holidays...

Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like some KTAL merchandise! We have t-shirts and totes for sale with our mascot, Chasey Chasem, similar to the image at the top of the page. Go to our merchandise page to place your order.

Speaking of the Election, Get Out and Vote!

The election ends Nov. 3, so if you haven't already voted, please, do so! Whether you are local to Las Cruces or not, vote.org has all of the info you need.

And, There Is Another Election!

The Las Cruces Bulletin's "Best of Mesilla Valley" contest is on, and KTAL has been nominated for "Best Local Radio Station" and "Best Talk/News Radio Station." You can vote once a day, but only through Oct. 31, so please go here and support KTAL! Thanks!
