Friday the 13th at @refinery14nm !

Spooky movie set in a small town radio station’s basement studio on Valentine’s Day - could the date be more perfect??

Donations at the door benefit KMRD, no one turned away for lack of funds. 🤍

KMRD Radio put its CID grant funding to work by supporting its youth program and 10th Anniversary Festival, both of which expanded the station’s reach and strengthened community connections. The youth program documentary was published by High Country News, bringing statewide visibility to the voices and stories of young participants. The festival also created meaningful opportunities to build new partnerships with Highway 14 Presents, Wise Fool, Santa Fe County Economic Development, and the New Mexico Music Commission, while deepening relationships with existing sponsors, vendors, and artists.

“We’re really excited about our upcoming projects that will be possible because of this funding,” said Stella Byrne, Station Manager.

KMRD turns 10!

It’s been a decade since our first broadcast on June 16, 2015! Ten years of hundreds of local volunteer DJs, a community of listeners and contributors and collaborators, 4 studios and a permanent home for the station, music and talk and interviews and original productions…

We’re so grateful that you’re a part of it, near and far! If you’re in the area, we’re having a small birthday party today, the 16th, 6-9pm at the station. Come see the new mural (and sign your name if you helped paint!), have a sno cone, and celebrate this milestone together.

Big 10 artwork by Gayle (The Madrid Triangle, Tuesdays 2-4pm) composed of the names of every show currently broadcast on KMRD 😍
