News Summary:

On July 16, 2026, Rocky Mountain Public Media (RMPM) expanded its Colorado footprint, gaining control of six full-power FM stations from Community Radio for Northern Colorado following a signed asset purchase agreement. The acquisition includes KUNC in Greeley and KJAC in Timnath, which airs The Colorado Sound in a Triple A format. This follows a June 30 asset purchase agreement in which a limited liability corporation operated by RMPM agreed to acquire the stations and other broadcast assets. Earlier, on July 7, RMPM filed this agreement to acquire the six full-power FM radio stations and 11 FM translators, assuming a $900,000 loan held by Community Radio for Northern Colorado as consideration for the purchase. Previously, on June 15, Rocky Mountain Public Media publicly distanced itself from comments made by its board chairman, who faced backlash after a social media post surfaced where he expressed a hope for former President Donald Trump to suffer a stroke. The organization stated the post violated its social media guidelines and did not reflect its values. Earlier, on May 13, Spartan Education Group (SEG), in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS and its Work Learn Earn initiative, announced it would host "The State of Aviation: Talent Training and Tomorrow," a live aviation panel discussion, on May 19, 2026, at Rocky Mountain PBS Studios in downtown Denver.
