Why a community radio station was created for our mountain communities.
The past six years, we listened to what's important to our residents:
Conifer Radio became the live-streaming internet public community radio voice for the the US Highway 285 Corridor in January 2000. Conifer Radio serves our US 285 corridor communities of Conifer, Aspen Park, Pine, Bailey with the surrounding Platte Canyon communities; and our numerous other surrounding foothills mountain neighborhood communities extending to Evergreen and along and branching from the US 285 corridors from Morrison through Kenosha Pass, Colorado. As a public community radio station, Conifer Radio operates "advertising-free" through internet “live-streaming” technology. As a non-commercial station, we have no commercials and don't 'advertise' - we 'recognize' our community organizations, businesses and local folks.
Two months after it was launched in January of 2020, Conifer Radio grew organically through the pandemic and with the support of a special group of founding supporters and other local underwriting sponsors. Conifer Radio's flagship station, MOUNTAIN CLASSIC ROCK features 5 decades of mountain classic rock music including alternative Side-B music continues to be featured 24/7, 365 days per year. Community information is produced for our Highway 285 Corridor and Evergreen Communities. Conifer Radio receives feedback and daily requests from our mountain communities as we continue to develop what our local residents expect from a public mountain community radio station.
With the considerable cost and the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) restrictions on the release of any further AM or FM (over the airwaves) radio station licenses, we utilize an internet live-streaming radio station platform. In addition, this is the platform of our future generations and our evolving technologies. As a community-focused radio station, Conifer Radio utilizes a very similar approach to that of National Public Radio (NPR) and operates with minimal commercial advertising to finance its current operating costs. Financial support comes from Underwriting Supporters, Podcasters and content producers representing our mountain communities.
Because we are a mountain community-based station, our operating expenses are carefully managed to a financial "break-even" status. Conifer Radio has been developed by Hudson Ross Associates, a local management consulting firm locally based on Conifer’s DoubleHeader Mountain.
