KKIM-FM (94.7 FM) is a commercial radio station located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, broadcasting to the Santa Fe, New Mexico area. KKIM-FM airs a Regional Mexican music format simulcasted with KLVO 97.7 in Belen/Albuquerque branded as "Radio Lobo".
History
The station (formerly KBOM) has had numerous formats in recent years from the long-running "K-Bomb" oldies format that had relocated (along with the KBOM call-sign) from 106.7 FM (now KAGM) after it was sold in late 2000, to Rhythmic Top 40 as "The Bomb" from 2002-2004, smooth jazz in 2004-2005, and simulcasting the news and talk format from sister station KAGM 106.3 in Albuquerque. In September 2006 listeners were asked to vote for the new format on a website that had been set up after the KAGM simulcast was discontinued. The result would be "High Altitude Rock" a mix of classic rock, alternative, and adult album alternative aimed at outdoor enthusiasts. The format was planned to move to KVSF-FM 101.5 which was purchased by Hutton Broadcasting but had instead changed to "Project 101.5".
On June 29, 2007, 94.7 became KKIM-FM with a religious format simulcasted from KKIM AM 1000 in Albuquerque.
On November 5, 2012, KKIM-FM switched to the current Regional Mexican music format.
