KNML-AM (610 khz) is an American radio station in Albuquerque, NM. It is owned by Citadel Communications and has a sports talk format called "The Sports Animal". The station also features Don Imus in the morning and Jim Rome in the afternoon.
[edit] History
The Sports Animal began in 1994 on KRZY-AM 1450. In 1996 KRZY was sold to a Spanish language broadcaster. Citadel moved the format to 1050 AM with the KNML callsign. In 2000 it moved to its current home at 610 AM the second strongest AM signal in Albuquerque. 610 AM was once used as an AM simulcast of KZRR-FM as KZSS-AM for nearly a decade. In 1997 it began running a "personal achievement" format until 1999 when it was traded off for the 95.1 FM frequency with KSVA. Citadel then traded KHTL 920 AM for 610 AM. The station features sports coverage of the UNM Lobos, as well as the New Mexico Scorpions professional hockey club. Some Lobos sports also air on sister station 770 KKOB-AM. The current program director is Ian Martin, who has worked for the station since 1999. He started as a simple board op and now hosts his own afternoon talk show, heard by dozens daily.
