History
The first station to make up Colorado Public Radio, KCFR (90.1 FM) in Denver, went on the air. The station was owned at the time by the University of Denver. In 1973, KCFR began carrying programming from National Public Radio (NPR), beginning with "All Things Considered." "Morning Edition" was added in 1979. More NPR programming was added the following year when the network began to distribute programming via satellite.
KCFR separated from the University of Denver in 1984. That same year, KPRN in Grand Junction signed on the air. In 1991, both stations joined together to form Colorado Public Radio.
The network began to expand in the following years, adding KPRE Vail in 1994, KCFP Pueblo in 1996 and KPRH Montrose in 1998. CPR also began adding low-power translator stations to the growing station lineup.
