From 1995 to 2010, KNME operated TALNET (an acronym for Teach and Learn Network.), an educational cable channel for Albuquerque. It broadcast a mix of PBS and Annenberg media programming and local school board meetings on Comcast cable channel 96 in Albuquerque.

On January 18, 2017 PBS Kids replaced the Spanish-language V-me network which had aired on channel 5.2 for about ten years with V-me planning to transition to a commercial cable channel in 2017. The channel however had never caught on with Spanish speaking audiences. Since Fall 2016 KNME carries First Nations Experience (FNX) a channel devoted to Native American programming.
