I applaud their achievements and congratulate these outsanding artists."
KHFM was given the award for Major Contributor of the Arts, nominated by many New Mexican's including the Most Rev. Michael J. Sheehan, of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe called the radio station “a great blessing to our community.” Sheehan said: “I am a great fan of classical music as I think it is uplifting to the soul. I wake up every morning with the KHFM music, and KHFM is the last thing I hear before drifting off to sleep every night.”

"DID YOU KNOW THAT..." by Bob Bishop, Program Director
Santa Fe has been named the Number 1 Arts Destination in towns with populations less than 100,000 by American Style Magazine. We are so proud!!! That’s all the arts – visual, performance, music, written word. And…(this is pretty big news, folks) Albuquerque was named 7th in cities of 500,000 or more!!! Normally I wouldn’t get too excited about being in 7th place; but look at the cities we’re competing with: we’re right up there with New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Boston and Seattle. Then Albuquerque! Yep! Pretty special, that No. 7. So, big kudos, huzzahs and cheers for all of the folks in Santa Fe and Albuquerque involved in the Arts. Classical KHFM 95.5 & 102.9 salutes you!! |
