What's Happening

Radio 1190 Wins Westword's "Best Radio Station"

Westword just put out their 25th annual "Best of Denver" awards and gave us our tenth award in a row! Radio 1190 was named "Best Radio Station."

"Back in 1998, before it was subsumed by Clear Channel, Jacor wound up with one more station than it could keep under FCC rules. Instead of holding a fire sale, execs donated it to the University of Colorado at Boulder, which up until then had made do with a school radio station that broadcast to the dorms using carrier current. A decade later, Radio 1190 is a station worthy of celebrating, with a reach that goes far outside of CU and even Boulder. It's an oasis of exciting music, creative programming and community support in a desert of corporate mediocrity. Happy tenth, and may there be many more anniversaries to follow."

CD of the Month

Radio 1190’s CD of the month for May is the second album from the Scottish trio, Frightened Rabbit.

The Midnight Organ Fight is the follow up to Frightened Rabbit’s first record, released in 2007.  Out on Fat Cat records, the album is a beautiful and heart wrenching work of art. The growth is noticeable, mostly because this is the first album the band conceived as an entire work.  The previous record, Sings, was nothing more than a collection of demos that they decided to put together.  While catchy, and fun to listen to, Sings is a far cry from the new album’s cohesiveness and finished feeling.
