KTNN 660 AM 🇺🇸

KTNN 660 AM, broadcasting from Window Rock, Arizona, is owned and operated by the Navajo Nation. As "The Voice of the Navajo Nation," KTNN's primary mission is to preserve and promote the Navajo language and culture, delivering news and information relevant to the Navajo people across a vast geographic area. The station's programming is predominantly in the Navajo language (Diné bizaad), featuring news, cultural programs with traditional Navajo stories and music, educational content, religious programs, and community announcements. While Navajo language content dominates, KTNN also broadcasts some content in English, including national news, sports coverage of local high school teams, public service announcements, and a mix of music genres. KTNN's signal on 660 AM reaches a significant portion of the Navajo Nation, spanning parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, even reaching remote communities. Furthermore, KTNN has expanded its accessibility through online streaming, extending its reach to Navajo people living outside the traditional Navajo Nation boundaries. KTNN faces challenges such as securing adequate funding as a non-commercial station relying on Navajo Nation funding and grants. Finding qualified broadcasters fluent in Navajo and competing with other media outlets are ongoing concerns. Despite these challenges, KTNN plays a vital role in preserving the Navajo language, reinforcing Navajo cultural identity, connecting geographically isolated communities, and disseminating essential information.
