KQNM
KQNM (1550 AM) is an American radio station based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Its studios are located in Northeast Albuquerque (a mile north of Central Avenue) and the transmitter tower is in the city's Old Town district northwest of downtown.
It is currently owned by Vanguard Media LLC, but has been put up for sale. Vanguard had previously owned KIVA (AM) 1600 as well but sold that station to Rock of Talk LLC in 2014.
FM broadcast
107.5 (2011-2013)
In early May 2011, KQNM (then KRKE on 1600 AM) began using an FM translator K298BK Sandia to rebroadcast the format at 99 watts in stereo on 107.5 FM and rebranding as "Cool 107.5". The station had previously been called "Real Oldies 1600". They had also changed their website to cool1075.com. The translator is owned by the Educational Media Foundation.
This change brought the station to better compete with KABG 98.5 which serves as an Oldies/Classic Hits format, mainly playing music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. For the first year or so, the station continued to focus on the traditional 1960s based oldies format it had aired since 2005 as an AM-only station but since mid-2012, it began to shift more to classic hits like KABG and most other FM oldies stations.

Waiting for the sun to come around
Take this on an empty stomach
Waiting for the spring to come around
Save yourself
By the way
Never ride alone
Take me down easy
I can't stand the sight or the smell
It's getting harder and harder and harder and harder to tell
Tell me when the blood stops flowing
Let it rest, it's run into the ground
Just in case the dogs are feeding
Shut the door so they won't hear the sound
Save Yourself
By the way
Never ride alone
Show me no quarter
I can't stand the sight or the smell
It's getting harder and harder and harder and harder to tell
Put me to pasture
I can't stand the sight or the smell
