Editor,
All hail KUNM radio! I was glad to see an article in your Jan. 11 issue concerning KUNM radio and UNM students. Yes, more students do need to become aware of the visionary programming that is broadcast on our University radio station. To this end — and at least based on what I was able to glean from the article — it seems that the Keystone International Inc. consulting group (hired to make recommendations to the radio station in terms of its relationship to the University — and I am sure were paid really, really well) overlooked one kind-of-obvious recommendation. Why is it that UNM (an institution that has an award-winning radio station) allows the Student Union Building to broadcast into every nook and cranny of their facility that absolutely nondescript (and somewhat offensive) music/radio that they do? Why is KUNM radio not the soundtrack of the Student Union Building? This would be one way to introduce many students to the joys of quality radio.
