In addition, the station is available from cable television providers in Cloudcroft, Ruidoso, Gallup, Grants, Socorro, Espanola, Los Alamos, Chama and Las Vegas. The goal of the expansion, said station manager Erick Steffens, is to acheive coverage in at least 80 percent of the TV homes in the station's FCC-designated viewing area, which is about three-quarters of the state.
