KMIN (980 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format that is licensed to Grants, New Mexico, United States.
In 1961 John Blake and his partner Dave Button sold KMIN to Tom Foster from Center Texas.
In 1983, another new owner, Don Davis of Albuquerque, purchased KMIN and moved the studios to their current location on 733 East Roosevelt Avenue.
Davis put KMIN-FM on the air and moved the Country format to the FM dial.
Having had much success with kdradio.com in California, it was decided to put the massive KD Radio oldies format of 7000 songs on a broadcast station.
Due to the Sound Souvenir's strong showing in the ratings, number one in its market, management made the decision to move the format to the stronger FM signal.
KMIN 980 was changed to a Country format using the music that was sent to the station over the last 50 years, as well as today's current hits.
