Rocky Mountain Community Radio

Rocky Mountain Community Radio (RMCR) is a coalition of non-commercial radio stations in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Member stations broadcast diverse news and music programming. We gather for an annual conference at rotating host stations.

RMCR collaborates to produce news and enterprise journalism that connects our communities. Check out some of the latest projects:

For decades, RMCR has been committed to the collaborative coverage of issues and public policy by employing a reporter at the Colorado State Capitol to connect our communities to statehouse news. Housed at KUNC, Capitol Coverage by Lucas Brady Woods is broadcast across the Colorado stations of the Rocky Mountain Community Radio network supported in part by the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado.

In 2022, RMCR hired a new Managing Editor and Producer to help coordinate news journalism collaboration and content distribution through our region, thanks to a three-year grant from the Colorado Media Project which is working to strengthen existing efforts to build a more inclusive local news ecosystem that reflects and serves Colorado’s diverse communities.
