History

Public Radio for the Front Range (PRFR) was started by a group of former DJs from

By the summer of 1996, PRFR had applied for a

construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The group wanted to build a station on 88.9 MHz, but were challenged by other broadcasting groups. PRFR then went into negotiations during 1997 with Colorado Christian University
to share 88.9 MHz; these negotiations failed.

By 2000, the group applied for the 89.7 MHz frequency in a low-power jurisdiction; another Christian group applied for the same frequency.

radio station. KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins began broadcasting on March 1, 2003.[5]

In 2004, KFRC completed the construction and expansion of its studios. Its facilities include three separate studios, all of which have the ability to broadcast live. Volunteers continue to make up the majority of KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins' workforce. In 2022, the station increased its power to 50,000 watts and constructed its own antenna tower. This gives it a larger area of Colorado able to receive its signal.[6]
