KHFM (95.5 FM) is a non-commercial radio station licensed to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and serving the Albuquerque metropolitan area.
It is owned by KHFM Community Partners, a foundation set up by American General Media when the station switched from commercial to non-commercial.
KHFM was started in November 1954 as a hobby of two teachers at Highland High School, originally broadcasting at 96.3 MHz (now the dial position for KKOB-FM).
[6] The call sign is a combination of the initials for Highland High School and Frequency Modulation, the technical term for FM radio.
The call letters and classical music moved down the dial a short distance, from 96.3 to 95.5, and the station's city of license was changed from Albuquerque to Santa Fe.
[11] At the same time American General Media had laid off several of the station's long-time staff with family members of company ownership taking over programming.
It was part of a deal where AGM acquired Univision's entire Albuquerque cluster, but was required by the Federal Communications Commission to spin off four stations to meet ownership limits.
