KALY is an AM radio station serving the Albuquerque, New Mexico, market. KALY broadcasts on 1240 kHz. It broadcasts a format targeted to families branded as JENNiRADIO.
The station went on the air as KLTN on 1981-09-01. On 1988-09-27, the station changed its call sign to the current KALY.[1] From the late 1990s to 2010, it has spent its time as a Radio Disney affiliate, airing a children's music format.
The Walt Disney Company took KALY, and five other stations slated to be sold, off the air on January 22, 2010.[2][3] KALY went back on the air in December 2010. It is run by the youngest radio station operator in the USA, Jennifer Smart. She has been on the radio doing technology and family talk shows since she was 6 and has interviewed more celebrities than anyone else her age. She has done video reports from over 400 Red Carpets and other events including Shrek, Pirates 2 - 4, Bee Movie, etc. The current JENNiRADIO is much similar to its Radio Disney predecessor.
