Indie 102.3 About To Get Louder
• Colorado Public Radio’s music discovery station, KVOQ (Indie 102.3)/Denver has filed paperwork with the FCC to trade in its 1230 AM signal in Pueblo, CO for a much cooler FM signal in Carbondale, CO.
The Carbondale station at 96.7 FM (as KNDH), will become the latest frequency to broadcast Indie 102.3 and is set to go live on Wednesday, May 26. 96.7 FM is currently licensed to Carbondale with translators in Glenwood Springs, and broadcasts from a transmission site CPR co-owns with Aspen Public Radio and KDNK/Carbondale.
The move will eliminate CPR News’ AM station and FM translator in Pueblo later this summer. Following CPR’s partnership with Colorado College to operate KRCC in Southern Colorado, CPR News’ broadcast in Pueblo became redundant with KRCC’s broadcast on 91.5 FM.
“One of CPR’s goals is to maximize the use of all of our frequencies,” said Jenny Gentry, COO of CPR. “With the addition last year of KRCC, we have duplicative coverage in Pueblo with CPR News. This move lets us bring Indie 102.3 to more people, with its focus on independent and Colorado-based artists.” Last year, Indie 102.3 made its initial expansion beyond Denver to serve listeners in Colorado Springs and the Vail Valley.
