KMRD-LP 96.9 FM

A low-power FM community radio station serving the village of Madrid and surrounding areas including Cerrillos in the high desert of New Mexico, broadcasting on 96.9 MHz. Operating as a locally rooted broadcaster, the station reflects the artistic and eclectic character of its community, which has a history as a former coal mining town turned arts enclave. The station marked its tenth anniversary with a free public music festival at the local ballpark, featuring a diverse lineup of performers across Americana, roots, hip-hop, and folk genres. An online stream extends the station's reach to listeners outside its terrestrial broadcast range. KMRD represents a model of hyperlocal independent radio rooted in community identity and grassroots participation.
