The Rio Grande Valley almost always means the most southern part of Texas, the Brownsville, McAllen, Harlingen area. Rio Grande Valley - Wikipedia

"In Texas, the Río Grande Valley (Spanish: Valle del Río Bravo), commonly known locally as The Valley, is a transborder socio-cultural region located in a floodplain draining into the Rio Grande near its mouth.[1] The region includes the southernmost tip of South Texas and a portion of northern Tamaulipas, Mexico. It consists of the Brownsville, Harlingen, Weslaco, Pharr, McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, San Juan, and Rio Grande City metropolitan areas in the United States and the Matamoros, Río Bravo, and Reynosa metropolitan areas in Mexico."
Since the portion in New Mexico does not even flow for most of the year now, it is hard to consider it really part of the river valley.
KUNM only covers portions of 8 or 9 counties around Albuquerque, and its translators are mostly intended to fill in shadow areas. The network covers some population centers, but is not specific to the river valley.

This is interesting to review, but obviously a lot can change in the 17 years since this was published.
The thing that's changed that stands out to me is the growth of religious radio. For example, the NPR station in West Palm, WXEL, was bought by EMF a few years ago. The NPR station in Harlingen TX switched to Relevant Radio in 2017. It's possible we may see more of this in the future, since a number of NPR stations are owned by colleges, and colleges are looking to get out of the radio business. Some will sell to community licensees, as University of Buffalo did with WBFO. But some may not.

Because I sometimes travel to the Palm Beaches for school-related reasons, I can confirm this signal and it does sound good around there.
The Palm Beaches have that while the Treasure Coast has 88.9 WQCS.
