Since the first commercial broadcast in 1920, radio has exploded as one of the world’s most popular forms of entertainment, and it remains steady and strong to this day. From satellite radio, to streaming services, to your local radio stations, there is more content available now than ever before. With all of the music genres and news available, how could you possibly settle on just one thing? Let’s take a look at just a few benefits of listening to your local radio station.
Locally Sourced Volunteers
We can all appreciate on-air celebrities and radio legends, but there’s something to be said for someone who does something simply for the love of it. When you listen to a local radio station like KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins, you get a team made up of volunteers who are passionate about their craft and community.
Local Updates on News and Events
It’s important to know what’s happening in the world, but what about your own backyard? Satellite or streaming radio stations from the other side of the country can provide a perspective on major news happening around the globe, but they simply can’t home in on local news and events like a local radio station can. What concerts are taking place in Fort Collins this week? How about standup comedy? What’s happening in local news that could directly affect the world around you? These are all things that you can get only through a local radio station.
Local Radio Provides More Variety
Have you ever flipped between stations, only to hear them all playing the same few songs? Commercial stations stick with a strict repertoire, leaving you, the audience, with a repetitive playlist of music consisting of no more than 20-40 popular songs. The Northern Colorado community is too diverse to sum up with a Top 40 chart. Because KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins is an independent local radio station not constrained by ties to major networks, we are able to provide a much broader variety in programming.
Interested in discovering some untapped, local talent? The Colorado Playlist on KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins is what you are looking for.
Want to wind down with hours of wonderful jazz? We’ve got a full 4-hour program curated by a local jazz enthusiast on Monday evenings and then another at Midnight on Tuesdays till 6am the following morning.
The truth is that as a local radio station, KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins is rooted and personally invested in the local community. We air more live and local music than any other station in the region, and we are proud to support nonprofits, musicians, artists, and our incredible community. We are a group of volunteers passionate about providing you with relevant news, event calendars, and a wide variety of programming that you simply can’t hear anywhere else.
