KCKN 1020 says ‘Thanks
for making us #1-Again!’

KCKN 1020 is still
an audience leader in Chaves County according to the nation's
top audience survey company, Arbitron. Recent ratings prove that
KCKN is still the #1 music radio station overall.
Another important detail revealed by the Arbitron survey shows
that KCKN has the “Highest Time Spent Listening.” Jerry Kiefer,
KCKN's General Manager, said “People tune in each morning and
stay with the station all day. That's great news for our
advertisers. They know their message will be heard.”
Kiefer said “It took a lot of hard work from a professional team
of experienced broadcasters to make it happen. The staff has to
be the most creative people I've ever worked with in decades,
and our owner, James Crystal Broadcasting, is pleased with all
that has been accomplished in just over four years with the
Classic Country format.”
So what are the key ingredients that make “Kickin' Country” so
popular?
“Our signal is the best in New Mexico. With the recent technical
upgrades, we give our listeners 400 miles of classic country
music from Pecos, New Mexico to Pecos, Texas.” Kiefer says a
strong signal must be reliable too.
“KCKN is the only radio station in southeast New Mexico with an
emergency back-up generator and a spare transmitter. When other
radio stations are off-the-air, KCKN 1020 will be on during
storms and other events that disrupt power, keeping our
listeners informed.”
Proper programming helps too!
Don Niccum's morning show is next to none. He wakes up southeast
New Mexico with local news, sports, weather, music, contests and
some unique information that makes listening fun. Dara Dana
joins Don in the studio to bring you “Dial-N-Deal” each weekday

575-622-5256 or, out of town callers can use the toll free line

KCKN also has the area’s largest radio station local news
department with market veteran Matt Casey and Shane Scott.
Kiefer stated, “We also place a strong emphasis on local and
regional news. We are in the field and on the phone, tracking
down stories that our listeners hear six times daily and KCKN is
not afraid to take a stand with our hard-hitting Tuesday
editorials!”
Agriculture is important to the economy of this region and KCKN
provides a half hour daily program with agribusiness news,
markets and trends. Tune in to “Agriculture Today” each weekday
morning at 5:30 and you'll be kept well informed with KCKN Farm
Director Tony St. James. Plus, on Mondays and Tuesdays, catch

Besides great Classic Country music, listeners hear contests on

Adkins and James Otto live at the Albuquerque Hard Rock Pavilion
