MONDAY DEC 5 2022 – WOW .. only 10 days left to get your votes in for best of 2022!

Tomorrow – Dec 6 is Colorado Gives Day, an annual day of giving for the non-profit world. The CP is not a non-profit company, but it does serve the non-profit radio world in Colorado.

Launched in April 2006, The Colorado Playlist is broadcast over 25 hours a week on approximately thirty FM frequencies in Colorado.  Streamed world-wide and archived weekly, the Colorado Playlist is the most widely heard independent music program in the state. 

The Colorado Playlist relies on donations to pay the cost of operation. The stations do not pay for the show. Your donation would go a long way to helping defray the costs. – Thanks! – Chris K. Venmo chrisk-2 or use this form.
