It is listeners who have supported this radio station for 45 years, stepping up even more now to replace lost federal funding, and who we are turning to during this on-air membership drive for the ongoing support Aspen Public Radio needs to continue serving the residents of the Roaring Fork and Colorado River valleys with critical news and information.
This locally-owned radio station has been broadcasting local, regional, and national news since 1981.
And because of members like you, since we first went on the air, everyone in this community has experienced free access to daily broadcast reporting on 91.5 FM and 88.9FM, including pressing local news, critical election coverage, breaking news when emergency road closures or wildfires cause outages, weekly features from our Arts & Culture Desk, Climate Desk and Women’s Desk, monthly investigative pieces from our Social Justice Desk produced in collaboration with Aspen Journalism, and live national and international news thanks to NPR and the BBC so you know what’s happening in our community, across the mountain west, and around the world.
Your financial support makes it possible for us to be prepared for whatever our community might face, broadcasting the information you need, when you need it. This week, we are asking for your support to help us all stay prepared and resilient, informed, civically engaged, and inspired.
