The folks at The Drop were feeling it. It was the morning after Valentine’s Day, the first official day of the station being on its FM signal, 104.7. Why not swoon a little?
The people for whom the station had been created have been showing their love for “The People’s Station for R&B and Hip Hop” since it began streaming in June 2019. Now, The Drop’s brew of commercial-free cuts and community-loving content had an FM home. And, yes, even in a world of digitized fare and streaming options, it felt different.
While the past year has challenged media outlets, there have been a few bright spots for KUVO.
Last year, the jazz station at 89.3 FM which had been based at the Five Points Media Center since 1994 and its hip-hop channel, the Drop, officially moved into the Buell Public Media Center, at 2101 Arapahoe Street. Offically, the new center also houses Rocky Mountain PBS, Rocky Mountain Public Media, the Colorado Media Collaborative and the Community Media Center, although most employees of those outlets are working remotely.
Tina Cartagena, KUVO’s senior vice president of radio and new media, who has been with the station since 1990, says that because of COVID-19, most of KUVO’s staff are still working from home, though the offices are open to on-air hosts and engineers. Other staff could start working on site in May. Eventually, KUVO will broadcast concerts from the building s Bonfils-Stanton Performance Studio.
