What's Happening

Wattowners Deliver!

Our Fall Marathon ended on October 6, just shy of the 5,000 watt goal we had set for ourselves. That's pretty amazing when you think about all the gloomy financial news that hit just as we went on the air in drive mode. Huge thanks to our staff and volunteers for their long hours and dedication. As always, nobody's pledge drive is as entertaining and awe-inspiring as Radio 1190's! We also want to thank the local businesses and restaurants who provided gift certificates and merchandise for premiums, and who fed the volunteers who kept it going. And of course, monumental appreciation to everyone who bought watts. Such dedication and faith in the future of independent radio will keep us going strong for a long time to come!

Now, let's hear some music!

Jazz Icon Donates Billy Holiday Collection for New CD of the Month Members

The founder of the iconoclastic jazz and protest music label ESP-Disk, Bernard Stollman, has made a unique gift available for the first 25 new Radio 1190 CD of the Month members during this Fall Marathon. In addition to the Radio 1190 Tenth Anniversary hoodie, t-shirt, water bottle, live mixtape, and 12-months of hand picked new releases, those pledging at the 60 watt level ($600 a year or $50 a month) will receive a special bonus. It's a 5-CD, 2-booklet set called Billie Holiday, Rare Live Recordings 1934-1959, a fascinating compilation of live performances on radio and television, studio sessions, concert and club appearances.

Thank You to Those Who Are Already Pledging!

Radio 1190 is forever grateful for our listener support every pledge drive. Here is what pledge givers are saying about the station:

Keep it up! Every watt counts!

CD of the Month

Radio 1190’s CD of the month for October is “Lost Wisdom” which features Mt. Eerie collaborating with with Julie Doiron of Eric’s Trip and Fred Squire. Mt. Eerie, originally known as The Microphones, has taken many forms over the years but has always been the work of lo-fi master Phil Elverum. Before he began the Microphones Elverum was also involved in K Records bands D+ and Old Time Relijun. Elverum retired his Microphones moniker five years ago after the release of his Mt. Eerie concept album.

Westword honors Radio 1190

"Back in 1998, before it was subsumed by Clear Channel, Jacor wound up with one more station than it could keep under FCC rules. Instead of holding a fire sale, execs donated it to the University of Colorado at Boulder, which up until then had made do with a school radio station that broadcast to the dorms using carrier current. A decade later, Radio 1190 is a station worthy of celebrating, with a reach that goes far outside of CU and even Boulder. It's an oasis of exciting music, creative programming and community support in a desert of corporate mediocrity. Happy tenth, and may there be many more anniversaries to follow." -Westword, Best of Denver 2008
