Radio Broadcast

Our FM and AM signals reach thousands of listeners in Boulder, Denver, Aurora and many other metro area communities. If you haven’t been able to hear KGNU clearly on 88.5 FM, we encourage you tune in as we’ve expanded our FM signal power and range.

Fort Collins

Our FM signal is produced by a transmit power of about 4 Kilowatts, that is a significant increase over our previous power, but lower than other commercial FM signals.

An indoor or outdoor FM antenna attached to your receiver may improve your reception.

REPORT SIGNAL / STREAM OUTAGE

In the daytime, KGNU’s AM signal covers the Denver Metro area and beyond.
At nightime, to avoid interference to other radio stations at the same frequency in other areas, the FCC ordered us to reduce our power. Then, many people outside of our main coverage areas find it difficult to tune in. Therefore, we would like to suggest some options for improving KGNU AM reception at home.

MAKE SURE THERE’S AN ANTENNA:
If your radio has a connection in the back for an AM antenna (often a loop antenna) make sure there is one connected.

TURN THE ANTENNA:
KGNU’s AM transmitter is in Englewood. Turn the radio’s AM antennas so that it faces our transmitter.

MAKE YOUR OWN ANTENNA:
If you want, you can make your own AM antenna with a long piece of wire. If your radio has a connection for a loop antenna, use two wires, one on each terminal.
