KABQ-AM (1350 AM, "Progressive Talk 1350") is a radio station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, owned by Clear Channel. The station features a liberal, left-leaning news and talk format that started in August 2004. KABQ is affiliated with the Air America, Jones, and Nova M radio networks. KABQ-AM transmits at full power (5000 watts) only during the day, dropping to 500 watts at night, and reception can be problematic outside the immediate Albuquerque area due to more powerful stations broadcasting on identical or nearby frequencies from the U.S. and Mexico. Some of the progressive hosts featured include Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes and Air America's Lionel, Rachel Maddow and Thom Hartmann.
