I think it's 101 that reaches Timberon but we have satellite radio so I'm not really sure.
Check out 107 too. The Coyote. It has classic rock music from the 70-80's.
Yeah but what about us JAZZ lovers??? What's to listen to if yer jonzin' for Coltrane, Getz and Bird???//
KRWG, only one place in S. New Mexico, Dracul...KRWG 90.7 from NMSU. They do NPR info and classical music a lot, but from 7 to 9 there is a great Hispanic music program, Fiesta, and from 9 to Midnight there is Burnsland...a very fine jazz program on weekdays. After jazz the classical comes back on. It's my radio station of choice, and has repeaters to make it available over in Alamo, up toward Silver City and also up the valley.
It's a great radio station.
Okay, I checked this out yesterday on the way to Alamogordo.
From Timberon to about halfway down hwy 82, tune into 107 Coyote, 70's and 80's type classic rock. After halfway down toward Alamogordo, tune into 101, 60's classic rock.
101 will not pick up in Timberon.
Something about 2 can Aqua Net supported mullet hairdos, tiger print spandex, hi-top tennis shoes listening to cookie cutter heavily rotated short pop playlists still appealing to some is amazing.
Never cared for it, and never felt like I missed out.

I'll give one thing to growing up in NE Ohio is that more diverse acts passed through there, and a lot more alternate listening was to be had on more college stations that gave me the list above which only partially fills out my record collection. A huge misappropriation in the music industry is the term "alternative". If you can find it in Walmart, it is not an alternative.
There wasn't much to pick from in New Mexico except for ABQ or Santa FE area and this one AM station in Clovis that played some old bizarre honky-tonk that seemed like the station was lost in time. Great Stuff. Oh yeah, not to mention Coast to Coast AM with George Noory...Art Bell!
What is fun is the hobby of DXing. Building simple loop antennas to pick up distant AM-FM stations. It's the only use that I have found for my receiver.
With a little effort you can pull in some distant stations. I made a simple loop antenna from speaker wire, and pulled in an Indian/Country music station from Window Rock AZ, 400 miles away using a cheap battery operated AM/FM walkman!
With New Mexicos' wide open spaces, there's less interference, and it's amazing what you can pick up, especially around sunset.
