Category: Charts

There’s not much to report this month.  One item of particular interest is the change I’ve noticed over at KUNC this past couple of weeks — cmon!!  Cat Power???  Ryan Bingham???  Who woulda thunk??!!  Kudos to Kirk Mowers for breaking out of the past and moving towards a much more contemporary ADULT station that showcases a truly diverse musical landscape than what we’ve known KUNC to produce these past many years.  Sure, you’ll still some classical – but still … Cat Power???  Edie Brickell?  Paul Simon … and the list  goes on … not the least of which is the heightened focus on Colorado artists like John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light, Trinity Demask, Flexigrass and others I heard this week.    WTG KUNC!!

That’s it … enjoy the charts … and remember, if you’ve got a record out – radio can’t play what they don’t receive!

Welcome to April.  I hope the spring flowers, budding leaves, and greening pastures bring warmth into our spirits and smiles to our hearts.  We lost two long time radio friends in March, and almost lost a third who I found out about as I was writing this column today.  Also in March, KRFC FM in Fort Collins hired and named their first ever program director, and hired a new executive director.

A quick note too about the reporting network and how the spin charts are put together:  Not all of the stations I pull info from are represented individually below.  I also keep tabs on shows like Radio 1190’s Local Shakedown, KTCL’s Locals Only, 99.5 the Mountain’s Homegrown Show, and the Colorado Wave; as well as stations like KSJD (Cortez), KOTO (Telluride), KUNC (Greeley), and others that air only a couple of titles, and therefore don’t post enough for me to list individual listings.  All of those stations and shows spins do get accounted for in the TOP 40 chart for the month.

RIP: Kyle Dyas, age 42, died from suicide after walking off the 42^nd story of the Spires building in downtown Denver.  Kyle was the music director at KUNC since 2002, and a long standing member of Open Stage Theater.  MORE

RIP: Bob Terrill, age 65, died from complications arising from H1N1.  Bob came to Fort Collins in 1977.  He held positions as music director and operations manager for KCSU and as media librarian at the Loveland Public Library.  MORE

Best wishes to liberal talk radio personality Jay Marvin (age 58), who is recovering from a suicide attempt.  According to his wife, in the linked to article, “He was so depressed because of his chronic pain and no longer being able to work, he took at least 170 1mg Xanax.”  MORE

Congratulations to legendary Colorado radio format pioneer John Hayes (KTCL, KCUV, KJAC) for landing the gig as the first ever program director for Fort Collins based KRFC.

RADIO STATION SPOTLIGHT – KMSA Grand Junction:  KMSA is a student run radio station in Grand Junction. Entering its 35th year of operation, KMSA is proud to provide the Grand Valley, Colorado, and the world with Alternative music. www.kmsa913.com!

I was updating my list of Colorado public and college radio stations recently and found a new website and some pretty cool things going on in Grand Junction at KMSA — so I reached out and contacted the folks there about what they’ve got going on and what kind of Colorado music they like to air.  Turns out they’re way into Colorado electronic stuff.  I’ll be looking forward to finding out who they like as time goes on, but I did get this from KMSA Ops Mngr Kyle Cooper:

“We encourage our DJ’s to play anything but the ‘norm.’ norm being anything Top 40ish. Shows range from Pop-punk with artists like The Cab, A Day To Remember, Four Year Strong. Acoustic stuff like City and Colour and Matt Costa or Iron and Wine. Thursday is our official Hip-Hop day we have 3 or 4 killer DJ’s who play newer stuff to old school and R&B late at night. Through out the week we have multiple electronic and Dub-step DJ’s play some shows…many on Friday before “The Metal Authority” takes over Friday Night to Saturday night. We have multiple shows that play your indie rock and smaller artists.”

Go take a peek at what college radio looks like in Grand Junction when you get a chance and make sure, if your music fits what they’re doing, that you get them your stuff, punk, metal, rap, indie/alternative …

That’s it for news and notes this month.  Here are the spins for March.
