El Paso Radio: KSNM Flips From Talk To Classic Country

The New Year brought a new name and format to former talk radio station KSNM 570 AM: Classic Country 570, according to lcsun-news.com.

The station now features songs and artists from the 1960s to the 1990s, from Dolly Parton to Johnny Cash to George Strait.

"On our current country station 103.9 KGRT-FM, we've had so many listener requests for classic country," general manager Veronica Test said of the change. "There's already two talk radio stations in town, so it just made sense."

The station is one of four -- along with Great Country 103.9 KGRT-FM, Hot 103.1 KHQT-FM and La Gran D 98.7 KKVS-FM -- Sunrise Broadcasting and Richardson Commercial Corp. sold to Adams Radio Group in September. The deal was worth about $4 million.

For now, the other stations will not change, Test said.
