KUNM radio 89.9 at the University of New Mexico now offers live Internet audio stream from the New Mexico Senate chambers when the Senate is in session. The live audio stream will continue through the current NM Legislative session.
The audio is a free service available at KUNM's website - www.kunm.org. Audio is only available when the Senate is in session. KUNM's award-winning news reports are also available on the KUNM website.
KUNM General Manager Richard S. Towne explains, "KUNM has a studio at the Roundhouse. For more than a dozen years, we have had live audio feeds from the Senate and House chambers for use by KUNM reporters.
"When News Director Jim Williams suggested we plug the audio into our website, we all saw a real opportunity to increase our public service to the community."
