Radio Que Tal 101.5 FM

Radio Que Tal 101.5 FM KTAL-LP 101.5 FM is an independent community radio station in Las Cruces, New Mexico. How are you? Can we do things differently?

We selected the call letters KTAL, because they sound like the Spanish phrase "que tal." If you are unfamiliar with that phrase, or your Spanish is a little rusty, it’s a colloquial expression that means “what’s up?” or “how’s it going?” It’s an informal way of saying “hello” and “how are you doing?” Here at KTAL Radio 101.5 FM, Las Cruces’ newest community radio station, we thought the call lett

ers K-T-A-L would be an appropriate shorthand to suggest that Spanish greeting. It also highlights a core mission we hope to accomplish each and every day: Asking our listeners, individually and collectively, How are things going? How are we?

“Que tal?” – and KTAL – asks: How are we doing together on this collective journey? What do you and what do we need as a community to thrive?

⚾️ An Aggie baseball legend joins the show!

This week on the Mesilla Valley Sports Show, Mike and Brian welcome Mark Aranda — former NMSU baseball standout and Aggie Athletics Hall of Famer.

Mark takes us through his baseball journey, from growing up in Albuquerque to becoming one of the best hitters in Aggie history. He also talks about his passion for teaching young players in Las Cruces, his support for local sports, and his long career with the Las Cruces Fire Department.

It’s a conversation full of hometown pride, great stories, and the heart behind Aggie baseball.

Our Mission

KTAL-LP’s mission is to operate a public radio station that will entertain, inform, challenge, inspire and engage our listeners through an eclectic mix of musical, cultural, educational and community affairs programming and related activities.”
