KABQ-FM (104.1 MHz) is a radio station licensed to Santa Fe, NM, covering Albuquerque and northern New Mexico. It is owned by Clear Channel and broadcasts a Smooth Jazz format at 100,000 watts and can also be heard in Albuquerque on a 50 watt translator K265CA 100.9 FM. The format is programmed by Broadcast Architecture's Smooth Jazz Network.
Ever since Univision's former smooth jazz station KAJZ (101.7 FM, now known as KQBT) changed to a rhythmic oldies (now Rhythmic Adult Contemporary) format in October 2005, the Albuquerque market was left without a smooth jazz radio station for about a year. American General Media intended on launching a smooth jazz station on KZNM (106.7 FM), however, they were beaten to the market by Clear Channel. Prior to the switch to Smooth Jazz on September 29, 2006, 104.1 had a Hispanic Rhythmic format that began in early 2005 called "Mega 104.1" which played hip-hop and reggaeton but it failed to generate decent ratings or revenue. Clear Channel had also attempted to do Adult Album Alternative on that frequency as well when they had moved Santa Fe's KBAC to 104.1 in 2002. That stations eclectic format did not bring impressive results in Albuquerque and attempts to make changes came at the protest of Santa Fe listeners which would result in KBAC moving back to Santa Fe and a more mainstream version of AAA called "World Class Rock" would launch on 104.1 in late 2003 only to generate similar results. The station also had a Classic Rock format as KLSK from 1991-2002.
Note that there is also another smooth jazz station on KSFQ-FM (101.1 mhz) licensed to White Rock, NM, which was formerly owned by Clear Channel and has been sold to the Educational Media Foundation. KSFQ covers much less of the Albuquerque market than KABQ, and is intended to be a station solely for the Santa Fe market. After Clear Channel went private in November, they intended on selling all radio stations outside of the top 100 Arbitron markets, including KSFQ. It is expected that KSFQ will switch to a religious format under the K-Love radio network, leaving KABQ as the sole smooth jazz radio station for the Santa Fe and Albuquerque markets.
