KAGM (106.7 MHz) is a radio station licensed to Los Alamos, New Mexico. It is owned by American General Media and airs a modern adult contemporary format branded as "106.7 The River". Its studios are located on Carlisle Blvd. in Northeast Albuquerque and the transmitter tower is located west of Los Alamos.
For more than a decade, 106.7 FM was home to an Oldies format for northern New Mexico as KBOM-FM branded as "K-Bomb" with the Oldies Blast From the Past. The name referenced the city of license Los Alamos as being the birthplace of the atomic bomb. In 2000, it would be acquired by American General Media, which already had its own oldies station on KABG-FM. However, the K-Bomb format would relocate to the 94.7 frequency in Santa Fe, although AGM would acquire that station as well and would bring a permanent end to K-Bomb in 2002.
In early 2001, AGM would launch "The Planet" on 106.7 as KKPL-FM with a modern rock format that used the slogan World Class Modern Rock. However, soon after its debut, Citadel Communications, a major player in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe radio market, would change two of its stations to rock formats, including a similar format on 103.3 FM as well as a classic rock station to compete against Clear Channel, which had owned most of the market rock radio stations at the time. This would put KKPL in competition with about six other area rock stations for advertising revenue. Longtime KTEG morning host "Buck" was among the local personalities at this short-lived station.
Therefore, in late September 2001, after only nine months on the air, AGM had thrown in the towel and changed 106.7 to a Spanish language music format as "Radio Sol" with call letters KZNM-FM. Initially, "Sol" had emulated the long running format on local public radio station KANW-FM 89.1, which features New Mexico-based Spanish-language music artists. The commercial effort did not succeed and the format on KZNM would eventually shift to Spanish oldies in 2004. KZNM was consistently the lowest Arbitron rated FM station in the Albuquerque radio market and failed to make several ratings books.
