KNML (610 AM "The Sports Animal") is a commercial radio station airing a sports format and licensed to Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is owned by Cumulus Media with studios and offices on 4th Street NW at Lomas Boulevard.

KNML is powered at 5,000 watts. The transmitter is off 2nd Street SW in South Valley, New Mexico, between the Rio Grande and the Albuquerque International Sunport. By day, the signal is non-directonal. But at night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 610 AM and adjacent channels, KNML uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. This concentrates the signal in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator K240BL at 95.9 MHz.
