Colorado Public Radio is a public broadcasting network that serves audiences in Colorado through its NPR-affiliated stations, including KRCC in Colorado Springs. The network is owned and operated by Public Broadcasting of Colorado. Its funding model relies on a mix of institutional grants, contributions from individual listeners, and fees from the Public Radio Satellite System. Like other NPR stations, it receives less than one percent of its funding directly from the federal government. The network is recognized for its high credibility and commitment to factual reporting. Its news programming is primarily derived from well-regarded national sources such as NPR, American Public Media, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This reliance on established journalistic outlets underpins its reputation for providing reliable information. The organization's credibility is further bolstered by a clean record with fact-checkers, having no failed fact-checks in the past five years.
