KNMD-TV

KNMD-TV (channel 5) is an ATSC 3.0 Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television station serving Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States that is licensed to the capital city of Santa Fe.

The two stations share studios on UNM's North Campus on University Boulevard Northeast in Albuquerque; KNMD-TV's transmitter is located atop Sandia Crest.

Broadcasting at only 200 watts, KNMD's signal was sometimes hard to pick up in many areas without pixelation and choppy sound.

KNMD was not licensed as a low-power TV station but originally used low power because of interference issues with KCHF which broadcasts its digital signal on channel 10 from a site near Los Alamos, New Mexico.

KNMD filed an application with the FCC in 2009 to move transmission frequency to channel 8 and increase power to 5.14 kW in order to improve its signal quality and range.
