(335)

KANW is a non-profit, non-commercial public radio station owned and operated by Albuquerque Public Schools. In 1949, Superintendent John Milne applied to the Federal Communications Commission for a license to construct and operate an FM station to serve the Albuquerque Public Schools. The station was constructed and began operating from a small studio on the third floor of the old Albuquerque High

School. The station provided classroom instructional programming operating only during school hours and was off the air during summer recess. In 1969, KANW increased its transmitter power and moved to its present studio location and under a federal grant purchased a much higher power transmitter which is located on Sandia Crest. Another power increase was approved by the FCC in 1983. The station now operates with maximum legal power and serves a large portion of the state of New Mexico. KANW began expanding its program service with New Mexico Music as well as Top-40 music with student disc jockeys. Through the years the weekday format was changed to include disco then urban in an attempt to serve underserved audiences. New Mexico Music programming on KANW began on a Friday afternoon in 1973 with Serjio Herrera. The show moved to Saturday mornings a few weeks later and has since become one of the most consistently listened to radio programs in New Mexico history. The New Mexico Music programming started as a unique service featuring music produced and performed by New Mexicans. KANW is proud to provide a venue to these artists that would otherwise never receive airplay nor recognition in the largest broadcast market of the state. Although the songs and lyrics have a Mexican influence, the sound is unique to the Land of Enchantment. The guitar and brass instruments take prominence in the sound of New Mexico Music. KANW's Saturday morning New Mexico Music and dedications is a New Mexico radio tradition and maintains the highest ratings of all KANW's programs. In 1995, KANW became affiliated with Public Radio International and a full member of National Public Radio in 1999. Some of the most popular programs are Car Talk, Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion, Morning Edition, Fresh Air, and Thistle and Shamrock.

Town of Bernalillo contractors will be conducting mill & overlay paving work on the following three roads:

* Santa Ana Rd, from 550 to the Cattle Guard near Old Hwy 44
* Ronald Rd from N. Don Tomas to Old Hwy 44
* Rose Dr. from Old Hwy 44 to Ronald Rd.

Work is scheduled to begin February 12th and will only last 7 - 10 days. Flaggers will be on site during any road closures to assist traffic already following detours from the Old Hwy 44 Bridge Reconstruction Project in the area. We know that these inconveniences can be frustrating at times, but we appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we continue to improve roads in our Town.

Old Hwy 44 Phase 2 Construction Starting November 18th 2024

This project is a full bridge reconstruction project to replace the existing bridge over the Albuquerque Main Canal just west of Ronald Rd. You can expect for Old Hwy 44 to be closed at the bridge in both directions starting November 18, 2024 until March 1, 2025. The contractor will have traffic control signage and barriers with detour signs to help drivers navigate around Old Hwy 44. There will be very limited space to turn around on Old Hwy 44 west of the bridge construction location, so please try to avoid the area all together. If you live on, or regularly drive on Old Hwy 44, please follow the detour signs to navigate around the area. We know that this is an inconvenience for residents and drivers, but we appreciate your understanding for the need to complete this much needed bridge replacement for the safety of our community.

For more details on the project, please visit www.tobnm.gov.
