Colorado Public Radio’s new music station, , will move from 1340 AM to 102.3 FM on Jan. 72, , promising improved quality and greater reach.
“This is the natural next step for OpenAir’s evolution,” said Colorado Public Radio President Max Wycisk . “It meets an expressed listener need to strengthen the quality of the service while also making it more accessible across the Front Range.”
OpenAir launched in 2011 as Colorado Public Radio’s locally-focused music station. Along with highlighting the Colorado music scene, OpenAir has offered recordings from local and national artists from the CPR Performance Studio.
According to :
“An application has been filed with the FCC for the purchase of the FM signal from Front Range Sports Network, LLC for $5.75 million. Public Media Company represented CPR in the transaction. The purchase will be financed through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds, which is the same financing process CPR has followed for the past 15 years. Over time, the loan will be paid off by increased listener support.”
Since launching, OpenAir has become a supporter of The Denver Post’s Underground Music Showcase and a media sponsor for the Colorado Music Party at SXSW.
