A Shared Commitment to Listeners
As of February 23, 2026, KHFM is proud to be the new home of Performance Today in New Mexico.
This beloved program, formerly aired on KUNM, has been a staple for classical music listeners across the state. We warmly welcome everyone who enjoyed Performance Today on KUNM to join us Monday through Friday at 9am.
This transition reflects the collaborative spirit of New Mexico’s public radio community. As KUNM expands its local news and information programming, KHFM is pleased to add this exceptional show to our lineup. Together, we’re working to ensure that all listeners across New Mexico have access to the programming they value most.
