We would like to Thank you to everyone for their generosity during our recent Spring Fund Drive. We had a rough time without volunteers and we know it was hard on everyone financially during this COVID-19 pandemic. But we all came together and raised $17,092.93. Stay home, stay safe, and stay tuned in!

We would like to THANK everyone for their generosity during our Spring Fund Drive. We had a rough time without volunteers and we know it was hard on everyone financially during this COVID-19 pandemic. But we all came together and raised $12,525 towards our $35,000 goal. Since we did not meet our budget we will need to hold another fundraiser over the Summer. Until then we will continue to bring you updates and great programming to keep you informed during this pandemic. Stay home and stay safe!

Currently our Saguache signal repeater on 98.7 FM is experiencing technical difficulties, and is temporarily unavailable. Our General Manager was able to ascend to the Saguache tower site this morning and diagnose the problem. We expect the signal to return to the Northern SLV on 98.7 FM within a few days. Don't forget we are always streaming, so you can listen online wherever you go!

We are now back on the air after a trip to the San Antonio Mountain. The problem was a tripped breaker switch caused by the previous night's power outage. We also have had reports from listeners that our 98.7FM frequency is down so we will be taking a trip to Saguache Peak in the next week or so to fix that problem as well. The good news is we are now broadcasting in all of our Northern New Mexico service areas and most of the San Luis Valley (besides Saguache temporarily). We look forward to bringing you new music and programming. Thank you all for your continued support through one of the biggest struggles we have faced here at the station. Because of you we are back in full swing.
Thank you all!!

August 1, 2019 Transmitter Update
After many months of hard work on the part of our General Manager Gerald Rodriguez, Paul Richards of KSPK, Valley Communication, the rest of the KRZA staff, and thanks to the generosity of our listeners and members, KRZA is broadcasting from San Antonio Mountain once again! We have had reports of good reception from Northern New Mexico and the SLV! We are connecting cultures along the Upper Rio Grande! We are currently running at a lower power (1,500 watts). After we figure out the problem with our tower and get it fixed to 100% we should have a way stronger signal. Thank you all for your patience through this entire process.

July 15 2019 Transmitter Update-
After a long, hot day on July 10th of moving the 800 lb transmitter, we have the hard part completed! Our new transmitter survived the extremely rough and bumpy "road" to the top of San Antonio Mountain, and is in place, hooked up, and powers on!
Now we need to do some troubleshooting and repairs on peripheral equipment, but the return of KRZA's full power signal is imminent! Keep your radios ready, we'll be back on the airwaves soon!
Thanks to KRZA DJ Wayne "The Nomad", the Richards' of KSPK, and to everyone who has helped us out so far! We still owe $10,000 for the new transmitter so if you can help by making a donation to the station please do so by making a check/money order to KRZA and send it to 528 9th Street, Alamosa, CO 81101 or go to KRZA.org and click the PayPal button. If you have any questions or concerns the number is 719-589-8844. Thank you for all of your support and patience. We truly couldn’t continue without listeners and members like you!
