770 KKOB History
New Mexico had been a state for just ten years when 770 KKOB (KOB) began broadcasting as a commercial radio station. On April 5, 1922, the Federal Radio Commission awarded the campus radio station at the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts a commercial radio license to broadcast at 883.3 on the AM dial with 750 watts of power. The school went on to become New Mexico State University and the radio station is now the 50-thousand watt Voice of The Land of Enchantment, News Radio 770 KKOB. Take a stroll through time.
