A Toast To The Arbough Era At KBCO
Arbough joined the KBCO air staff back in 1985 after serving as Music Director at KTCL/Ft. Collins, CO. He was soon named as the KBCO Studio C Engineer and Producer of the hugely successful KBCO Studio Ccharity CD series. Over the years Arbough produced 35 CDs, two vinyl albums and two vinyl singles of music recorded in KBCO Studio C that have raised money throughout his tenure to benefit a number of local Denver/Boulder charities.
During Arbough’s four-decade tenure, KBCO has earned national respect, receiving numerous Colorado Broadcasters Association Awards of Excellence and has been nominated for two NAB Marconi Awards for Station of the Year. KBCO has also received multiple nominations for the prestigious NAB Crystal Radio Award, including the 2023 award, which will be announced in April. In December 2018, KBCO was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.
JoJo Turnbeaugh, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Rocky Mountain Region, said, “It’s been my privilege working with the true architect of the Triple A format, and now it’s an honor helping you celebrate your retirement. To quote your great imaging, Scott Arbough, ‘YOU ARE KBCO.’ Now hook up that camper and enjoy your retirement.”
