KRWG Public Media
KRWG Public Media is the PBS and NPR member station of New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, serving southern New Mexico and far west Texas with KRWG-TV and KRWG 90.7 FM.
KRWG Public Media is the public broadcasting service of New Mexico State University, licensed to the Regents of NMSU and based at Milton Hall on the Las Cruces campus. It operates KRWG-TV (channel 22), a PBS member station on the air since 1973, and KRWG 90.7 FM, an NPR member station whose signal covers southern New Mexico and the El Paso area and is simulcast on 91.3 KRXG in Silver City and on FM translators around the state. The television signal reaches viewers from transmitters on Tortugas Mountain near Las Cruces and in the Franklin Mountains in El Paso, with translator stations across southern New Mexico.
The station's mission is to extend NMSU's outreach by providing public radio and television for southern New Mexico and West Texas: relevant local news, a forum for open discussion, a celebration of the arts, and the preservation of the region's human and natural history. Local programs include KRWG News This Week, daily newscasts, Fronteras: A Changing America, Living Here, KRWG Newsmakers, Puentes a la comunidad, Fiesta!, Intermezzo and the podcast You, Me and Inequity, alongside the PBS and NPR schedules.
KRWG works closely with NMSU's journalism program; students produce a newscast that airs during the school year and fill production roles. The station employs a staff of about 20 across news, television production, engineering, membership, underwriting and administration, and hires through New Mexico State University's careers site.
