anyone not anywhere in NM and at night a few states away — that’s a major limbaugh station).

or the station itself — downtown ABQ, i think

pierce regularly uses kkob for friendly guest appearances. so do the martinez people.

unm uses learfield sports licensing co. the local sports talk guy says there was no bidding process and learfield actually pays kkob to broadcast the games. whatever learfield pays unm for trhe radio portion is prob pretty minor, but regardless, UNM is screwing over its students and state.

UNM is one of more than 88 universities that broadcasts sports on 257 talk radio stations that headline Rush Limbaugh and support Trump (WWW.REPUBLICONRADIO.ORG).

UNM receives licensing revenue and KKOB uses the association with UNM and the LOBOS to attract advertisers to pay for operations. --

During a 11/22/16 morning program attacking Santa Fe as a sanctuary city, producer Pat Frisch referenced the killer vigilante “Purge” movies, suggesting “some people may say hey, maybe that’s not a bad idea.”

UNM has no excuse not to look for apolitical alternatives for LOBOS games. On behalf of TRUMP/GOP, KKOB uses public airwaves to:
* deny global warming
* fight environmental regulation, support fossil fuels over renewables, promote fracking
* end Obamacare/ACA
* end net neutrality
* defund and privatize public education, attack teachers and their unions, obstruct efforts to lower student debt
* sell voter suppression legislation with lies about voter fraud
* excuse racism, misogyny, homophobia, and hate to divide communities, push voter suppression
* deny reproductive rights for women and access to contraception, defund Planned Parenthood
* fight efforts to increase minimum wage, advocate eliminating it
* undermine the economic and environmental interests of their communities
* use public airways to repeat propaganda that is demonstrably false while using call screeners to exclude dissenting opinions
* attack demonstrators, distort their objectives, encourage police violence

Licensing revenue from radio is minor and donors can be found to make up the difference. The UNM mission statement declares that it strives to “enhance the overall well-being of society.”

UNM has no excuse.
