Search for how to get your business on KRQE and you will wade through scraped copies of KRQE stories sitting on content farms and spam pages, none of them KRQE, none of them able to help you. This page can. It gives you the complete, legitimate answer: whether a business can buy an article on KRQE News 13, what the article looks like on the real krqe.com, who it fits, how publishing works step by step, what decides the price, and the one email that starts it.
The short answer: yes, a business can buy an article on KRQE
Yes. A business can be published on KRQE through a paid article placement on krqe.com. This is not pitching a story to a KRQE reporter, and it is not buying a television advertisement. It is a defined route: a sponsored article about your business, published on the station's own website, reviewed before it goes live, and permanent once published.
Arranging that placement is what we do. You do not need a media contact, an advertising agency, or a news hook. You need a business worth writing about and one email to us. If you want the wider picture of how paid placements work across outlets first, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content explains it honestly.

What you actually get: your business in a KRQE News 13 headline
Picture the finished article, because the finished article is the product. A live page on krqe.com carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, who you serve, and why New Mexico customers should choose you. It sits on the site Albuquerque opens for news and weather, under a name the state has watched from the top of the Sandias for seventy years.
Then the link goes to work across the state. You send it to the customer in Santa Fe who found you online. You add KRQE to the "As Featured On" row on your homepage, where it tells every visitor that New Mexico's own news station published a story about your business. You use it in proposals from Albuquerque to Las Cruces, one credible link answering the trust question before it is asked. Unlike an advertisement, which stops the day the schedule ends, this page keeps standing there, on the real domain, doing that work permanently.
Why KRQE carries weight in New Mexico
KRQE's signal has a birthplace no other Albuquerque station can claim. It signed on 4 October 1953 as KGGM-TV, and it was the first Albuquerque station to transmit from Sandia Crest, the peak more than 10,000 feet up east of the city. It has broadcast from the Crest ever since, which is part of why its reach became the state's reach: its signal has long extended beyond Albuquerque through satellite stations in Roswell and Durango, Colorado. The call letters themselves, adopted on 7 September 1992 and drawn from the middle of the word Albuquerque, became KRQE News 13 in a 2000 relaunch New Mexico viewers still use as the name of record. This was also the market's first station to produce its local news in high definition, from studios on Broadcast Plaza in Albuquerque.
The online weight matches the mountain. In our outlet directory, KRQE carries a Domain Authority of 79 and roughly 2 million monthly organic visits. Those figures are the supporting proof. The real point is that KRQE is one of New Mexico's founding stations, and an article on krqe.com borrows seventy years of that standing every time a customer finds it.
What a sponsored article on krqe.com actually looks like
Precision matters here more than usual, so start with the domain. KRQE stories get scraped and copied onto content farm sites across the internet. Those copies are not KRQE, and a placement on one of them is worth nothing to you. The domain check is the first scam test: the real article lives on krqe.com, full stop.
The article is a full page on krqe.com itself, in front of its real audience. It is labelled as paid content, and that label is part of what makes the placement legitimate and durable. The article is reviewed before it is published, so what goes live has passed a check. Once published, the placement is permanent; there is no campaign end date at which your page comes down.
The article links to your website, and the links carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. Anyone who promises you a plain editorial dofollow link from a paid KRQE placement is describing a product that does not exist. What you get is a permanent, credible page about your business on a strong New Mexico news domain, sending real readers your way.
One separation, stated plainly. This is a website article, not a television advertisement. Ads interrupt and end. The article is found, read, saved and shared, and it stays on krqe.com working for you long after any ad schedule is forgotten.
Who a KRQE article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits Albuquerque, Santa Fe and wider New Mexico businesses whose customers live in the state: service companies, professional firms, tourism and hospitality businesses, retailers with a statewide draw, any company whose buyers research online and choose on trust. KRQE's footprint is New Mexico's footprint, which makes the fit simple to judge.
It does not fit a business with no New Mexico connection and no use for the badge. If your customers are all somewhere else and the News 13 name would mean nothing to them, buy the outlet their market trusts instead. We would rather tell you that here than sell you the wrong placement. And if you need a far bigger stage than a regional one, the PIX11 guide shows the same kind of placement in New York.
How publishing on KRQE works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and what the article should be about. That email is the entire application. No form, no account, no retainer.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm that your business and your topic fit the outlet, and you receive your individual quote. What decides it is covered in the next section.
Step 3: The article. You can supply the article yourself, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way, it goes through review before anything is published.
Step 4: Review and go live. The article is reviewed, approved, and published on krqe.com.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the live link to your article, yours to send to customers across New Mexico, add to your site, and use in every proposal from that day on.
Your protection is part of the arrangement before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing. There is no version of this where you pay and end up with nothing.
What decides the price of a KRQE article
There is no public price for a KRQE article, because the price is set per placement. The deciding factors differ for every business: the scope of the article, whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, the placement specifics, and timing. A shelf price would price your article like a stranger's, so each placement is quoted individually, by email, with no obligation to proceed.
Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model behind the quote in full. The practical version: tell us the article you want, and you get one clear number for it, and that number is the whole price.
What a KRQE article will not do
The honest limits. The article is paid content and is labelled as such; it is not editorial coverage and it is not the KRQE News 13 newsroom endorsing your business. Nobody can guarantee you search rankings, a traffic figure, or sales from a placement like this, and anyone who promises those outcomes is selling something that does not exist. What the article does is one permanent job: it puts a credible, findable page about your business on one of New Mexico's founding stations' websites. Buy it for credibility that compounds, not for overnight miracles.
