KKOB-FM, is an FM radio station based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, owned by Cumulus Media. It broadcasts on 93.3 MHz and has a Top 40 format in competition with similar-formatted rival KDLW and Rhythmic Top 40 rivals KKSS and KAGM for listeners in that market.

Its brand is "93-3 KOB-FM - The Pop Music Channel." The station plays today's top hits with each song ending with a "pop tag" in which a female voice names the artist and song title. Its Rhythmic rival KKSS has also started doing this as well.

For much of its existence, KKOB-FM had an adult contemporary or hot adult contemporary format. KKOB-FM's first shift to mainstream top 40 came in 1999 playing "Today's best music" rivaling the newly launched KCHQ-FM "Channel" 105.1 which had returned mainstream top 40 to the local market after a six year absence. Both stations were often head-to-head in the ratings until late 2000 when KCHQ had shifted to an 80's hits format. However in January 2001, KKOB would also switch to an 80's format putting the two stations in competition once again. KKSS, which had been facing a fierce rhythmic battle with KYLZ-FM "Wild 106", would become the areas mainstream top 40 outlet a few weeks later, but in November 2002, KKSS was sold to Hispanic Broadcasting and had returned to rhythmic top 40. KCHQ had dropped the 80's format in the Fall of 2001 but the format continued to lose steam on KKOB. Therefore on Christmas Day 2002 the station would return to the top 40 format and had also returned to using the three letter 'KOB' ID in its branding. This would also mark the exit of the station's long-time morning host Phil "The Bean" Sisneros.

John Lee "Johnny" Tapia (February 13, 1967 – May 27, 2012) was a Hispanic-American five-time world boxing champion from Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Johnny Tapia's life began with tragedy. His father had reportedly been murdered while his mother was pregnant with him. When he was eight years old, his mother, Virginia, was kidnapped, raped, hanged, repeatedly stabbed, and left for dead by her assailant. Tapia was awakened by her screams and saw her chained to the back of a pickup truck. He tried to alert others in his household, but no one believed him. His mother was later found by the police and taken to the hospital after she had crawled 100 yards to a road. She died four days after the attack without regaining consciousness. Raised thereafter by his grandmother, Tapia turned to boxing at the age of nine.

Tapia had an outstanding amateur career, and was the 1983 National Golden Gloves light flyweight champion and the 1985 National Golden Gloves flyweight champion.

Tapia's professional boxing career began on March 25, 1988, when he fought Effren Chavez in Irvine, California. After four rounds of boxing the fight was called a draw. He won eight fights that year, five by knockout, of which four were in the first round. In 1989, he won seven more fights, including a first round knockout of Abner Barajas and an eight-round decision against John Michael Johnson.
