KRMA – Denver

From its beginning in 1956 as an instructional TV station broadcasting a few hours each day, Denver's KRMA 6 has evolved into one of the premiere public television organizations in the country. Sister station KRMJ opened in Grand Junction in 1996, and KTSC in Pueblo/Colorado Springs joined the network in 1999. KRMU signed on in Durango in 2004 as the country's first digital-only television station without a prior analog assignment.

Services include:

• Expanded public broadcast programming
• Programming that is locally produced or serves local needs
• Global teleconferencing for business via microwave link from Grand Junction
• Technical training and continuing education via microwave and satellite links
• Interactive educational services for preschool, K-12 and higher education
• "Hands on" training in telecommunications and teleconferencing for high school and college students

The mission of KRMA is to provide a dynamic, multifaceted, public telecommunications service of the highest quality to meet the diverse cultural, educational, and informational and entertainment needs and interests of the people it serves.

KRMJ – Grand Junction

In the early 1980s, KRMJ was the dream of a pioneering group of state and local educators, including Sen. Tilman "Tillie" Bishop, Peg Foster, and former Rocky Mountain PBS General Manager, James Morgese. With community support, the dream was realized in the winter of 1996 when KRMJ opened in Grand Junction.

KRMJ serves Western Slope communities from the Roaring Fork Valley to Durango (KRMU). The advantages of having a full-power public television station were viewed as an investment in the educational and economic future of Western Colorado.

Since 1996, Rocky Mountain PBS has served western Colorado with exceptional programming, educational services, local production, and videoconferencing services. The Western Colorado Local Advisory Committee has served as the advisory board to elevate local voices on RMPBS though a western Colorado lens.

In April of 2023, Rocky Mountain Public Media opened the Western Colorado Public Media Center based in Fruita, serving the 19-county region. The Western Colorado Public Media Center modeled from other co-located media ecosystems across Colorado, designed to expand regional collaboration and community impact.

RMPM’s Western Colorado Public Media Center encompasses approximately 1,400 sq. ft. in the Fruita Arts Recreation Marketplace (FARM), a remodeled 13,000 sq. ft. commercial building that’s part private creative working space, part retail, art, and outdoor recreation marketplace, and built to cultivate community.

By finding common ground, we can build bridges with our neighbors, earning and expanding the public’s trust in local media.

RMPM continues to employ local staff, journalists, contractors, volunteers, and advisory members across the 19-county region, from Durango to Grand Junction, in service to a Colorado where everyone feels seen and heard. Learn more about the station history here.
