KSWV (810 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish Variety format. Licensed to Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, the station serves the Albuquerque area. The station is currently owned by La Voz Broadcasting Co., Inc.[1]
History
The station went on the air as KAFE in 1966; it later became KMIK on July 22, 1987.
In 1991, the KMIK was acquired by George Abrán Gonzales, who has served as the Mayor of Santa Fe from 1968 to 1972.[2] Gonzalez changed the station's call sign to KSWV (Que Suave) on November 11, 1991.[3][2] He operated the station with his four sons.[2]
On February 17, 2016 a construction permit was granted by the FCC to move translator K294BS out of Hereford, Texas to Santa Fe, New Mexico to rebroadcast KSWV at 99.9 MHz giving the station a 250 watt FM signal.[4] La Voz Broadcasting had purchased the translator from Educational Media Foundation in January 2016.[5] A license for the translator at the new frequency and community of license as K260CT was issued on September 30, 2016.
