KOAZ
KOAZ (1510 AM) is a radio station licensed to Vanguard Media LLC. at Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico. It is operating at "Isleta" with 5,000 watts daytime and 25 watts nighttime, from 34°58′46.2″N 106°44′15.1″W / 34.979500°N 106.737528°W. The station serves the Albuquerque Metropolitan area. Its studios are located in Northeast Albuquerque (a mile north of Central Avenue).
KOAZ broadcasts a smooth jazz music format branded as "103-7 The Oasis" which was launched at noon on Valentine's Day (February 14), 2012. The station uses a 250–watt FM translator K279BP on 103.7 MHz broadcasting from Sandia Crest in Albuquerque to air the format in stereo on the FM band as well as allowing it to be heard better during nighttime hours when the AM station runs at only 25 watts.
The station signed the air as KABR by the Alamo Navajo School Board on 14 February 1984.
When applying in October 2007 to start KABR-FM, the Alamo Navajo School Board pledged to divest itself of the AM station upon receiving its license for the FM station. The FCC granted the license for KABR-FM.
In 2010, the FCC granted the application to assign KABR (AM) to Martha Whitman and the construction permit to serve Isleta Pueblo by moving KABR (AM), making it part of the KTBL antenna system. The ownership reassignment has since been consummated.
Throughout 2011, it simulcasted a country music format from KMIN AM out of Grants, New Mexico branded as "K-Mine" with callsign KMYN.
In early February 2012, it began to rebroadcast on 103.7 FM in Albuquerque. The translator was originally K216DV and broadcast at 91.1 FM in Albuquerque. It was owned by the Paulino Bernal Evangelism and aired its "Radio Christiana" Spanish-language ministry from its main station KCZO in Carrizo Springs, Texas from about 1999 until the late 2000s at just 10 watts. 91.1 is part of the non-commercial section of the FM band, so it was moved to 103.7 in early 2012 to broadcast a commercial format as well as increase power to 250 watts from atop Sandia Crest, giving the station a strong signal across Albuquerque.
The first station in Albuquerque to adopt the smooth jazz format was KRZN-FM 101.3 "The Horizon" in 1994, launched just weeks before the areas' long time easy listening station KKJY-FM "K-Joy" switched to a classic hits format. In 1997, KRZN would move to 105.1, making the format available in Santa Fe, but after two years, it would switch to a top 40 format, leaving the market without a smooth jazz outlet much to the dismay of its fans. However, on Christmas Day 2000, The Horizon would return to the airwaves on 101.3 and would once again get another shot on 105.1 in late 2001 and changing its callsign to KAJZ-FM. But by 2004, it would be moved to the weaker 101.7 frequency and would be cut back to just two personalities and running a mostly automated format before it was axed. Ever since Univision's former smooth jazz station KAJZ (101.7 FM, now known as KQTM) changed to a rhythmic oldies (now Sports talk) format in October 2005, the Albuquerque market was left without a smooth jazz radio station for about a year.
