Cultural Energy is a nonprofit organization formed in 2003 to create radio and other media productions for Northern New Mexico.

Our independent organization was formed to open a production facility and hire staff to train and coordinate volunteers who want to create media voices for youth, arts & activism. We produce media segments and offer completed works to radio stations locally and nationally for broadcast and web casting. We also train youth to produce their own segments.

Call 758-9791 to learn how to become involved by volunteering or producing your own segments. We need volunteers for interviewing, audio editing, cataloging segments, developing music and public affairs programming, fundraising and outreach, training youth and more.

Our production facility includes a recording studio, a mixing and editing room, a meeting/class room and high speed Internet access. Our completed segments can be heard on KRZA 88.7 FM, KTAO 101.9 FM , KLDK Radio 96.5 FM, KUNM Radio 89.9 FM and you can at all times Listen On-Line to over 1,800 segments since 2004.
