KRFC receives major grant from CPB

We got a note earlier this week from Andrea Bradstreet, who hosts the Rocky Mountain Breakdown bluegrass show on KRFC, aired from Fort Collins, CO.

She wanted to share a story that ran in The Coloradan on October 1, which described how the 3 year old radio station had recently received a number of major grants from both federal and local authorities, including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

These grants were considered to be noteworthy, both in reflecting a change by CPB to allow grants for newer stations, and since grants from the Public Telecommunication and Facilities Program were received to help KRFC create a digital broadcast signal within the next two years.

Anyone interested in more details can access the article online.
