DeDe In The Morning a syndicated show that is featured weekdays 5-10 AM. Sunday Gospel with syndicated show Hezakiah Walker Countdown

KMGG-LP was started under the non-profit, Future Broadcasters Inc., which was started by Byron Powdrell (the station's licensee) to mentor children in the art of radio. 99.9 The Beat became Albuquerque's first successful non-profit, low-power radio station, and gave a platform for youth to facilitate their dreams and offer an educational S.T.E.M. experience right at home, all in an entertaining, fun format. 99.9 The Beat can offer local artists a place to present their art, which can be near impossible for an unknown artist to do at a commercial station.
