Will anyone outside of New Mexico even notice?
I found that the other EMF station in Grants KVLK, the K-Love station in that area, has a CP to move from 89.5 to 88.7 with a power increase from 105 watts to 285 watts. https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=KV...=&lmspl=&party_type=ELMFA&latd=&lond=&lang=en
So that could make 89.5 an open frequency that KAJZ-LP could consider moving to possibly reducing interference issues. However there has been a game of musical chairs on Mt. Taylor in the last decade or so with what is currently KEZF starting on 91.9 as KKGT and then moving to 88.7 as KFCY and then to 91.1 as KEZF and then having a couple of CPs they later abandoned. There was also KOTY in San Mateo that was on 88.7 (95 watts) from 2022 until the license was cancelled last September. So there were two previous broadcasts at 88.7 on Mt. Taylor. It could be possible that some other station tries to occupy 89.5 in the future. KANW had a CP at 89.5 in Jarales south of Belen as KAHW but it was cancelled in December.

Okay, never mind my question about whether anyone outside of New Mexico will notice.
Will anyone outside of Grants and/or Milan notice ... or even care?
Face facts: That is one of the smallest of small markets. Shuffling around a bunch of non-commercial stations will matter only to the listeners who would have to adjust their receivers for the new frequencies.
Much ado about nothing. Tell me, sir: Did anyone even notice all that "musical chairs" activity, other than yourself?

I, for one, appreciate hearing about goings-on in NM.

I bow to all of your preferences.
But it still feels like a game of "radio trivial pursuit" to me (except without the game board and wedges).

I looked at the state board listings, and all of them have had active topics in either May or June, so your implied point of New Mexico having very little radio news appears valid.
