KCMN (1530 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format playing the hit music of the 1960s, '70s and '80s, which is a simulcast of sister station KWRP in Pueblo. It changed from its long-time adult standards format (since the early 1980s) on April 2, 2012. It is licensed to broadcast from Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA, with a power of 15,000 watts, and can be heard by day from the outskirts of Denver to the state's border with New Mexico.^[1]

In August 2006, Don Crawford Jr. bought KCMN and a sister station, KCBR, from his father's radio company, Crawford Broadcasting, for an undisclosed amount. (Formally, KCMN was purchased by a new company called DJR Broadcasting, owned by Crawford.) The new owner said that the formats and staffing would stay the same at the stations. Crawford had begun working at Crawford Broadcasting in 1989, and had been a regional manager since 1994, responsible for the company's stations in Colorado Springs, Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Following the purchase, Crawford was to continue to manage KAAM in Dallas, which continues to run a "Legends" adult standards format similar to KCMN's former format.^[2]

Beginning in 2007, the station began broadcasting in HD Radio format.^[3]

In 2012 DJR Broadcasting sold KCMN (along with sister station KCBR) to the locally owned Pueblo Radio Group. PRG flipped KCMN from "Legends 1530" to its current format, even though KCMN added Classic Top 40/Oldies titles from the 1960s, '70s, and '80s under the ownerships of Crawford Sr. and Jr.
