I'm pleased to announce that we've received some great new historical KSIR photos from Bob Gaines, and they're now posted in the Photo section! Please have a look at them and let us know if you enjoy them! We are of course still looking for even more interesting photos and stories about the station, so please get in touch if you have something to share!

As reported here, it appears that 1470 AM is currently off the air. How could this web site help serve the needs of the Estes Valley? One suggestion I have heard is to have a local swap page for people to buy and sell items, as they did on the Fair Trader for many years on KSIR and its successors.

What are your thoughts and ideas for ways that this web site could help the community? Please share them here!

For anyone interested, the FCC Media Bureau AM Query page is located at: http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html

The information they currently have for AM 1470 is as follows:
KRBR AM 1470 kHz ND1 Daytime D B LIC ESTES PARK CO US BL-19801031AE 1.0 kW 67483 WP BROADCASTING OF COLORADO, LLC

KRBR AM 1470 kHz ND1 Nighttime D B LIC ESTES PARK CO US BL-19801031AE 0.053 kW 67483 WP BROADCASTING OF COLORADO, LLC

It appears to me that the local LPFM has been more successful than 1470 AM in the past few years in attracting listeners. In certain ways, it seems to be programmed a little more like KSIR was in its heyday.

Being back in Estes Park again has re-ignited my interest in KSIR and its history. I hope you like the design of the new web site. Please feel free to comment or contribute if you have something to share!

What would you like to see featured on our web site? In addition to station history and photos (I could definitely use more!), I am thinking about adding more local content, photos, information on hiking in RMNP, and weather. What would be most useful to you?
