KAVE (1240 AM) was a radio station located in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
History
On May 16, 1955, the station’s owners Carlsbad Broadcasting Corporation applied to the Federal Communications Commission for a construction permit to build a television station on channel 6 in Carlsbad. Carlsbad Broadcasting had been planning for three years to build a TV station and had purchased a site on "C" Mountain in 1950. Before construction for the TV station began, negotiations were concluded to sell KAVE radio and the television station permit to Voice of the Caverns, a company of the Battison family consisting of Nancy Hewitt and John Battison. Then sold to Ed Talbott, the chief engineer of KROD radio in El Paso and a minority stockholder in Voice of the Caverns. Sadly, Ed Talbot died in 1963, causing ownership changes once again when John Deme, a Connecticut radio station owner, purchased the KAVE stations from Talbott's widow In 1966, Deme sold KAVE radio and television to separate, but related owners. The manager of radio station KVKM in Monahans, Texas, Ross Rucker, acquired KAVE radio for $118,000. At the same time, John B. Walton, whose Walton Stations group owned KVKM and its television adjunct KVKM-TV, spent $325,000 to purchase KAVE-TV. This station was deleted in 1974 for failure to file a renewal application.
