Currently featuring an all-syndicated lineup that includes Ebro In The Morning, Nick Cannon, The Dana Cortez Show, and Tino Cochino Radio, KVWE currently ranks ninth in the Amarillo market with a 2.8 share, but trailing Cumulus Media Rhythmic CHR “93.1 The Beat (https://www.931thebeat.com)” KQIZ’s 4.4.
