Radio executives follow their dream to Chama Valley.(Television)
Byline: MEDIA NOTES Barbara Chavez Of the Journal
Good morning, Chama Valley.
A radio station is coming to Chama, and the community is rallying around KFLH-FM (95.9), which will be on the air later this month, said co-owner Scott Flury.
His partner in the radio station is Bud Healey. Both men are leaving the relatively safe confines of their jobs with Citadel Communications, one of the largest radio station companies in New Mexico.
"We're leaving corporate radio," said Flury. "That means we're leaving the 401(k) plans, the retirement plan, the health benefits. But we're doing it to follow our dreams."
The dream is to bring radio to the Chama Valley, which never has had a radio station in town. The area picks up two country stations out of Farmington, and during the daytime it's possible to pick up the KOB-AM (93.3) signal from Albuquerque, said Flury.
"But what the town needs is a community radio station," he said. "We'll broadcast high school games, tell people about road conditions, give them weather reports and local news. It's old-fashioned community radio."
