You stand corrected, my friend!!!  While KGNU-FM may be the only station 
in the Denver/Boulder area broadcasting in RealAudio, you certainly 
aren't the first!!  KBCO-FM has that distinguished honor!!!  :-)

I'd be really curious to hear about the success of these kinds of
sites.  I'd think most local people would rather listen to a radio
station on a radio, since the bandwidth is already available through
the airwaves.  Which would leave non-local people (or travelers) as 
the primary audience that I would think this is being aimed at.  
So who actually seems to be listening to them?

I occasionally listen to KGNUs rebroadcast of the BBC World Service 
news when I'm in my office at 4:30. Most of the day I listen to
more distant stations - Classic FM and Radio 5 from Britain and CKUA
from Alberta. My guess is that most KGNU netcast listeners will be
Boulder exiles.

Well, as a rather recent Boulder-to-St. Louis transplant, I'll be giving
the KBCO site a listen.

Does KBCO have a continuous RealAudio broadcast, or just specific events? 
In either case, I couldn't find any RA links at www.kbcoradio.com.  I
prefer KBCO, so please let me know.

I'm listening to KGNU right now via the Internet, however--nice!

when?  We've been broadcasting shows since last year.  Electronic
Air when live online in RA2.0 last spring.

KGNU has a weak signal that many of our intended audience can't
pick up even in Boulder/Denver.  We are using the RA feed to better
serve that audience.  Our online audience mostly consist of
office workers who can't pick us up because of inference;
ex-Boulderites; Community radio listeners who like community
based radio.  Plus several of our speciality shows (Bluegrass,
reggae, Blues, MSA, etc) have fans around the world who are
interested to hear what our DJ's are playing.

It's really exciting and it good to see repeat listeners coming
back and listening to KGNU on the web.

I really miss your station. (ex-Ft. Collins resident).

And most important, a convenient outlet for the Grateful Dead Hour!

Living in Denver/Aurora, my access to GDH/KGNU is spotty at best.
Although it is not in stereo, it is nice to hear the Boyz online...

In my experiences as a radio promotions person, I have had many 
opportunities to speak with Catherine the previous music director at 
KGNU. Her philosophy about the music was diverse and set a great example 
for other free-form stations to follow. I'm sure her presence at that 
station will be missed. The fact that they are running on RealAudio now 
is fabulous because the underground network of eclectic music lovers ARE 
out there in cyberspace, desperately seeking out new places to hear rare 
music. In my opinion, the internet will help "Free Radio" break its 
bondage of its FCC restraints and burst upon the world globally, thus 
eliminating the ridiculous monopoly of frequencies and the FCC hoops 
small stations have to jump through to be heard. In addition if you are 
into incredible music on the internet, try GoGaGa.com, which also is out 
of Boulder, and offers an incredible selection of some of the most 
diverse music on the planet.

Actually...we just broadcast some individual events. However, as soon as
we transfer to our new server...you will be hearing KBCO on the net!
