[edit] History
For more than a decade 106.7 FM was home to an Oldies format for northern New Mexico as KBOM (K-Bomb, Oldies blast from the past). In 2000 it would be acquired by American General Media which already had its own oldies station KABG-FM 98.5. However, the K-Bomb format would relocate to the 94.7 frequency in Santa Fe, although AGM would acquire that station as well and would bring a permanent end to K-Bomb in 2002. In early 2001 AGM would launch "The Planet" on 106.7 as KKPL-FM with an adult oriented alternative rock format. However, soon after its debut, Citadel Communications, a major player in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe radio market, would change two of its stations to rock formats including a similar format on 103.3 FM as well as a classic rock station to compete against Clear Channel which had dominated most of the areas rock radio market. This would put KKPL in competition with about six other area rock stations for advertising revenue. Therefore in late September of 2001 after only nine months on the air AGM had thrown in the towel and changed 106.7 to a Spanish language music format as "Radio Sol" with call letters KZNM-FM. Initially "Sol" had emulated the long running format on local public radio station KANW-FM 89.1 which features New Mexico based Spanish language music artists. The commercial effort did not succeed and the format on KZNM would eventually shift to Spanish oldies in 2004. KZNM was consistently the lowest arbitron rated FM station in the Albuquerque radio market and failed to make the Summer 2006 ratings book for Albuquerque. In March 2007 it switched to Regional Mexican as "La Ley"
