KUNC is a public radio station broadcasting from Greeley, Colorado and billing itself as "Community Radio for Northern Colorado". KUNC is operated by Community Radio for Northern Colorado, a 501(c)(3) Colorado non-profit organization. KUNC broadcasts at 91.5 MHz FM.

[edit] History

KUNC began operations on January 6, 1967 at the University of Northern Colorado as station KCBL. The station was owned and operated by the University until the winter of 2001. During the Fall of 2000, the University announced its intention to sell KUNC in an effort to save money. Colorado Public Radio in Denver, Colorado, agreed to purchase the station from the University. However, an upwelling of support from the local Northern Colorado community as well as a concerted effort by staff at the station, targeted at "keeping community radio local," led to a fundraising effort which produced a counter-offer from the newly formed Community Radio for Northern Colorado.

[edit] Programming

KUNC broadcasts programming from National Public Radio, Public Radio International, the BBC, and other public radio producers, as well as locally-produced news, commentary, and music programming termed "Diverse music".

[edit] Translators

In addition to the main station, KUNC is relayed by an additional 15 translators to widen it's broadcast area.
