KCKN 1020 is designed to target male and female Country listeners, age 35 to 54.  Research shows that group is dissatisfied with the music they hear on Country radio today.  This is the 'baby-boomer' audience that first began listening to Country music in the 70's and 80's and now wonders why Country radio doesn't play their favorite songs anymore.

Our topical and friendly local on-air personalities are truly knowledgeable about the artists and music.  They interact with the listeners through local contests, requests and specials to make KCKN 1020's Classic Country the perfect format to attract and keep the Country listener in Southeast New Mexico.

Can an AM station like KCKN attract listeners?

Yes AM is still very popular. In every market, you'll always find a top rated AM station with listenership exceeding most of the FM stations.

There are several reasons for the success of these radio stations.
 

	First and foremost is offering the right programming.
	KCKN chose a Classic Country music format because our audience surveys told us that a substantial majority within our coverage area wanted to hear Classic Country music which unfortunately, wasn't broadcast in the region.
	It was a perfect fit because independent research has proven time and again that nostalgia music formats such as Classic Country are extremely successful on AM stations.
	Best of all, Classic Country radio stations attract a wide range of adult listeners with an above average spendable income that our advertiser find very attractive.
	Most of our listeners have told us they grew up listing to AM radio and find the AM band in parity with the FM band. Needless to say, the response has been overwhelming!

Though our music is a major factor, we added important key elements such as an expanded agricultural report, up-to-the-minute newscasts, accurate weather forecasts by real meteorologists, and other topical information geared toward our audience. But even the best programming cannot do it alone.

You must have a signal that "won't let you down at the edge of town". Our very powerful 50,000 watt transmitter delivers our signal loud and clear throughout the region encompassing thousands of square miles. Look at our coverage maps within our web site and you'll see why we are "the amazing AM". No radio station, AM or FM, can compare to KCKN's coverage.

One final ingredient in our recipe for a great radio station; make it fun for the listener. That we do.
