On April 3, 2012, Cultural Energy purchased another educational radio station, 90.1 FM, now re-named KCEI. This lower powered station will provide coverage to communities north of Taos and in Colorado. On Sep 9, 2011 the FCC granted us a construction permit for a Educational FM Radio station, KCEY at 89.5 FM now approved at 16.7 kW, providing coverage to the south, west & east. We also have a CP for a 13.98 kW watt Digital TV station, KCEI-LD at Channel 18.
