KKOB Unveils the “250 Initiative”
Cumulus Media’s Albuquerque news/talk News Radio KKOB – in celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States of America – announces “250 Flags,” a statewide initiative designed to recognize and honor 250 individuals who make New Mexico stronger every day. The station is asking listeners across New Mexico to nominate someone they believe deserves recognition. Honorees can be anyone, living or
deceased, known or unknown, in New Mexico who has made a meaningful impact on their community, through service, leadership, sacrifice, or simply showing up when it matters most. On May 4th, News Radio KKOB will begin announcing honorees, with four individuals recognized each weekday, leading up to a culminating event later this summer. KKOB program director Aaron “Buck” Burnett says, “250 Flags is about recognizing the people who don’t always get the spotlight. New Mexico is full of everyday heroes, and this gives us a chance to tell their stories and honor them in a meaningful way.”
