Radio Que Tal 101.5 FM

Radio Que Tal 101.5 FM KTAL-LP 101.5 FM is an independent community radio station in Las Cruces, New Mexico. How are you? Can we do things differently?

We selected the call letters KTAL, because they sound like the Spanish phrase "que tal." If you are unfamiliar with that phrase, or your Spanish is a little rusty, it’s a colloquial expression that means “what’s up?” or “how’s it going?” It’s an informal way of saying “hello” and “how are you doing?” Here at KTAL Radio 101.5 FM, Las Cruces’ newest community radio station, we thought the call lett

ers K-T-A-L would be an appropriate shorthand to suggest that Spanish greeting. It also highlights a core mission we hope to accomplish each and every day: Asking our listeners, individually and collectively, How are things going? How are we?

“Que tal?” – and KTAL – asks: How are we doing together on this collective journey? What do you and what do we need as a community to thrive?

Ever wonder what it really takes to outfit a college athletics program?

This week on the Mesilla Valley Sports Show, Mike and Brian go behind the scenes with Paulina Mihelich, NMSU’s Assistant Athletics Director for Equipment Operations.

Paulina shares how she got into the profession, her journey to Las Cruces, and what it’s like to succeed in the male-dominated world of college football. From helmets and uniforms to logistics and long hours, she gives us an inside look at the work that keeps Aggie athletics running.

Help Keep Community Radio Alive in Southern New Mexico!

Our December Capital Campaign launches today, and we need your support. Our volunteer-run, commercial-free community radio station is facing a critical challenge: we must update essential equipment to stay on the air and continue bringing you the locally produced programming you rely on.

Our Goal: Raise $17,000 by December 31st
This investment will ensure we can keep delivering the shows that matter to our community—created by your neighbors, for your neighbors.

Every donation counts. Whether it's $10 or $100, your contribution directly supports independent, local voices in southern New Mexico.

Please donate today: https://www.lccommunityradio.org/donate.html

Thank you for being part of our community radio family!

🏀 Thanksgiving Day Special: Part 2 with Rus Bradburd

This Thursday on the Mesilla Valley Sports Show, Mike and Brian continue their conversation with Rus Bradburd — former college basketball coach, acclaimed author, and NMSU color analyst.

In this second part of the interview, Rus opens up about life after coaching and what it means to write honestly about the sports world. He discusses the challenges of telling tough stories and his commitment to stories that explore race, justice, and accountability.

He also shares reflections on two local coaching legends : Lou Henson at NMSU and Don Haskins at UTEP, including what made them great and what made them complicated.

Our Mission

KTAL-LP’s mission is to operate a public radio station that will entertain, inform, challenge, inspire and engage our listeners through an eclectic mix of musical, cultural, educational and community affairs programming and related activities.”

We selected the call letters KTAL, because they sound like the Spanish phrase "que tal." If you are unfamiliar with that phrase, or your Spanish is a little rusty, it’s a colloquial expression that means “what’s up?” or “how’s it going?” It’s an informal way of saying “hello” and “how are you doing?” Here at KTAL-LP Radio 101.5 FM, Las Cruces’ newest community radio station, we thought the call letters K-T-A-L would be an appropriate shorthand to suggest that Spanish greeting. It also highlights a core mission we hope to accomplish each and every day: Asking our listeners, individually and collectively, How are things going? How are you? How are we? “Que tal?” – and KTAL – asks: How are we doing together on this collective journey? Can we do things differently? What do you and what do we need as a community to thrive?
