📖 About

Onda 1150AM/96.1FM (operating under the call sign KNRV) is a prominent Spanish-language commercial radio station licensed to Englewood, Colorado, and serving the entire Denver metropolitan area. Tracing its roots back to January 1951 under previous frequencies and call letters (such as KGMC and KRZN—the latter famously featuring legendary talk radio host Alan Berg during the late 1970s and early 1980s), the frequency transitioned through several eras before being acquired by New Radio Venture and later coming under the ownership of Amigo Multimedia, Inc. Today, it broadcasts with 10,000 watts of daytime power and reaches listeners across a broader footprint via its FM translator K241CP at 96.1 MHz in Englewood. The station's daily schedule features a blend of local news, community interviews, sports programming, and paid brokered lifestyle and information programs targeting Colorado's growing Hispanic community. During overnight hours, KNRV broadcasts syndicated programming from Mexico City’s prominent Radio Fórmula network. In addition to its talk and news segments, Onda serves as a vital local sports broadcaster, holding prestige as the Spanish-language flagship radio station for major regional sports franchises including the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies. Catering primarily to Spanish-speaking families, workers, and sports fans throughout the Front Range—from Colorado Springs up to Fort Collins—Onda 1150AM/96.1FM functions as an essential cultural and informational bridge. It covers civic issues, public health announcements, immigration resources, and local events that directly impact daily life for Denver's Hispanic population. Accessible via traditional AM/FM radio, its official website, and digital streaming aggregators, the station remains a cornerstone of multicultural media in Colorado.
