EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Public television station KRWG-TV is now available free over the air on for viewers throughout the El Paso area, New Mexico State University said in a news release.

This brings “trusted PBS programming, local news, and educational content to even more homes across the Borderland,” NMSU said.

KRWG-TV is now available on Channel 22 in the El Paso area.

Residents with an over-the-air antenna can begin watching KRWG-TV by simply rescanning their television channels. No cable or satellite subscription is required.

“We’ve always viewed the Borderland as one community,” said Adrian Velarde, general manager of KRWG Public Media. “For decades, many El Paso viewers have watched KRWG through cable or satellite providers. Now, we’re making our service available to everyone free over the air, expanding access to the trusted news, educational resources, and PBS favorites our audiences value.”

For more than 50 years, KRWG-TV has served Southern New Mexico with public television that informs, educates, and inspires, NMSU said.

This expansion strengthens KRWG’s commitment to serving the entire Borderland by making its programming accessible to more families throughout the region, NMSU added.

In addition to Las Cruces and El Paso, KRWG serves communities throughout Southern New Mexico and far west Texas, including Alamogordo, Truth or Consequences, Silver City, Lordsburg, Anthony, Clint, and many other communities across the region.

“Our mission is to inform, educate, and connect the communities we serve,” Velarde said. “From local journalism and children’s programming to stories that reflect the people and cultures of the Borderland, KRWG Public Media is proud to be a trusted resource for our region.”
