KANW is also broadcast on KANR 91.9 in Santa Rosa, KGGA 88.1 in Gallup, New Mexico, KIDS 88.1 in Grants, New Mexico, and KANM 90.3 in Grants, New Mexico. There is also an HD Radio format broadcast of KANW 89.1 FM .[1]

In late 2016, KANW acquired two more stations from Educational Media Foundation. These are KANM (formerly KDRI) 90.3 in Grants and KGGA 88.1 in Gallup, New Mexico. Both stations are former Air 1 outlets.[2] KANM gives KANW two stations in the Grants area as KIDS already serves as a satellite of KANW so KANM now airs the news and talk format which also airs on a translator in the area.

gollark: That could be stored on a simple card or just done in software.
gollark: In a modern and sanely designed network, you would probably just need... a private asymmetric crypto key to verify the device/your identity, network ID, and probably a few other bits of data but I can't think of any right now.
gollark: Oh look, styro just entered the diode cult.
gollark: I could understand "hardware card thing with a bit of data on it", but SIMs actually run quite complex and often exploitable software.
gollark: eSIMs are *still hardware devices*. Just programmable ones. Which is... why.
