RETRO FRIDAY: KUNM FIRES A VOLUNTEER LIVE ON THE AIR



Today KUNM, Albuquerque airs freeform music every weekday afternoon.  One reason this artifact from the past lasts on KUNM is what happened in May 1987.  Management announced big changes in programming and all hell broke loose…



GM Tim Singleton (who retired from managing WBAA at the end of 2013) and PD Patrick Conley, wanted to improve KUNM’s standing in the community by presenting more appealing programming. 

They had the right idea but they were in the wrong place at wrong time.
