KRAM

KRAM is the Rainbow Dash Network station serving Albuquerque, New Mexico. It broadcasts on channel 65.

History
KRAM signed on the air on June 15, 1985 as KANM. It began as an independent station known as "Big 65." The station switched affiliations on October 1, 1992 and became a Cartoon Network station. KANM stayed with the Cartoon Network affiliation until December 31, 1998 and switched to Pax TV (now Ion Television) known on air as "PAX 65". For a time, just like the other Pax stations, KANM had a 9PM newscast produced by NBC affiliate KAIC but that was cancelled once the station returned to it's independent status in 2001. KANM stayed as an independent station until channel 65 became an RDN station in 2011. As a result, KANM switched call letters to KRAM. Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation purchased the station on March 21, 2016.

Newscasts
KRAM produces 7 hours of local news per week.
