NewsTalk 1310 KFKA

📖 About

NewsTalk 1310 KFKA is a historic news and talk radio station licensed to Greeley, Colorado, serving the greater Fort Collins–Greeley–Loveland metropolitan area. Having first signed on the air in June 1923 (with roots tracing back to early experimental broadcasts in 1909 and 1921), KFKA holds the distinction of being one of the oldest operating radio stations west of the Mississippi River. It originally began as an educational station operated by the Colorado State Teachers College (now the University of Northern Colorado) before transitioning into commercial operations in 1930 to ease financial pressures on the institution. Over the decades, the station has shifted through various ownership groups and frequency adjustments before settling into its current format under Music Ventures (Broadcast Media LLC). Programming on KFKA focuses heavily on a dynamic blend of local and nationally syndicated news, political talk shows, community commentary, and comprehensive regional sports coverage. Listeners tune in for popular weekday talk programming, breaking news updates, and expert discussions addressing matters relevant to Northern Colorado residents. In addition to standard talk formats, KFKA serves as the prominent flagship station for the University of Northern Colorado Bears sports network, delivering live play-by-play broadcasts for college football and basketball. Furthermore, the station acts as an essential local outlet for high school sports, carrying local high school football and basketball games to deeply connect with the local community and sports fans. Targeting mature audiences, local decision-makers, and sports enthusiasts throughout Northern Colorado, KFKA broadcasts with 5,000 watts of power during the day and leverages an FM translator at 103.1 FM (K276GU) to guarantee crisp reception across its coverage area. Accessible via traditional AM/FM radio receivers, online web streams, and mobile platforms, NewsTalk 1310 KFKA remains an enduring media institution deeply woven into the historical and cultural fabric of Colorado broadcasting.
