Live New Mexico News Streams

New Mexico is the Land of Enchantment, a place of high desert, mountains, and a blend of cultures found nowhere else. Albuquerque is its largest city, sitting along the Rio Grande beneath the Sandia Mountains, and its local news reflects a state where the landscape and the seasons shape daily life, from summer monsoon storms and wildfire smoke to the dramatic swings of high-desert weather.

NewsPlay carries KOAT Albuquerque, the market's ABC station and a familiar name across the state. Its newscasts cover politics at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe, the economy from the national labs and the film industry to farming and energy, water and drought that are always on New Mexicans' minds, and the crime and public-safety stories that matter to local communities. When wildfires flare or a monsoon rolls in, KOAT is there with the coverage, and the balloon fiesta each fall is a beloved fixture.

KOAT streams live and free on NewsPlay, with no subscription and no login. Whether you live in Albuquerque, up in Santa Fe, out in the smaller towns, or watching from somewhere else, it is an easy way to stay connected to New Mexico.
