This lower powered station will provide coverage to communities north of Taos, and get on the air sooner. On Sep 9, 2011 the FCC granted us a construction permit for a 9,000 watt Educational FM Radio station, KCEY at 89.5 FM. providing coverage to the south, west & east. We also have a CP for a 7 kW watt Digital TV station, KCEI-LD at Channel 18.
