The Fine Print

KNOM cannot air any messages from anyone who is currently incarcerated (such as in Anvil Mountain Correctional Center, or AMCC).

KNOM reserves the right to withhold any message or song request from its airwaves, especially if the message or request is proven to contain false or coded information or if it is in any way deemed illegitimate by the KNOM staff.

KNOM cannot guarantee the playing of your song request. Show playlists are limited by broadcast standards, time and scheduling constraints, and other factors. Staff will always do their best to honor song requests as fairly and thoroughly as possible; however, final decisions always remain with the on-air staff.
