Colorado Public Radio

Colorado Public Radio (CPR) is a non-profit, member-supported public radio network that has been serving Colorado since 1951. It began with KRCC and evolved into its current form in 1991 after merging with KPRN. CPR operates three main services: a news division that provides statewide coverage, a classical music service featuring local artists, and a platform for independent music that highlights both local and national indie musicians. CPR's network includes full-power stations and low-power translators, reaching 90% of Colorado's population. The organization is primarily funded through private donations, business sponsorships, and foundations, with a significant portion of its revenue coming from these sources. CPR is part of a larger public radio network and aims to offer free access to news and cultural programming, focusing on local relevance and public service. Its digital presence includes popular news websites that provide articles, podcasts, and cultural content.
