Q> How can I hear KVCU?
Set your radio to 1190 AM. If you are having reception problems, try another radio. All AM receivers are not built the same and often your cheap looking bedside radio will get better reception than your stereo. We broadcast from Boulder, so you may experience poor reception in the shadow of buildings between you and Boulder.

You can also listen to our live Netcast

Q> How far does your signal reach?
During the day when we broadcast at 6,800 watts, we reach all the way from Fort Collins to Castle Rock and beyond. During our night broadcast, when we run at 110 watts, it's enough to reach over most of Denver. We've gotten reports of good reception all over the state from Walden to Colorado Springs to Rae to Fort Morgan.

Q> Can I see your license?

Here is our license as maintained by the FCC web site. We don't know what most of that means either.

Q> What about going on the internet?
Radio 1190 is part of a $325,000 grant to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Colorado that enables us to broadcast our signal over the net using Real Audio's G2 server.

Q> Can I view KVCU's public file?
Yes. Our public file is open to the public. If you would like to set up a time to view it, call General Manager, John Quigley at 303-492-5031. Here is the contents of our public file.
