History[edit]
KCFR ("Colorado Free Radio") was owned by the University of Denver, between 1970 and 1983, on 90.1 FM.[4][5] In 1984, the station was transferred to a community board of directors which eventually formed Colorado Public Radio. It has always been an NPR affiliate, having signed on as a charter member of the network.
In September 2000, CPR acquired the intellectual properties of then-AM classical station KVOD. In March 2001, KVOD replaced KCFR at 90.1 FM and KCFR was moved to 1340 AM. On July 9, 2008, KCFR-FM moved back to 90.1 FM, with KVOD moving to the newly acquired 88.1 FM frequency.
