History
The station first signed on the air on June 29, 1973; its call letters were named after Ralph Willis Goddard, an educator and pioneer broadcaster in Las Cruces, who was employed as an instructor at the college; Goddard founded Albuquerque AM radio station KOB. The KRWG call letters were first used by the sister radio station at 90.7 FM that signed on in 1964.KRWG was the only public television station to serve the El Paso–Las Cruces media market until 1978, when KCOS-TV signed on as the PBS member station for El Paso. Prior to that date, viewers in the eastern portion of the market would have to view most PBS programming on cable by way of out-of-market member station KNME or KRWG. Some PBS programs, including Sesame Street, were carried in El Paso by KTSM-TV.
The station produces a weeknight newscast titled News22, which is one of the few student-produced broadcasts among the journalism schools in the United States, as well as the weekly newsmagazine Newsmakers.
