In the 1970s, Colorado Public Radio headquarters were in a bungalow on the University of Denver campus.

When Bob Hensler started working for

Colorado Public Radio in the 1970s, the organization was headquartered in a

1,200-square-foot bungalow on the University of Denver campus. One of Bob’s first projects as CPR’s engineer was to install a light in the restroom to alert staff not to flush the toilet when hosts were on air—so the sound wouldn’t be picked up by microphones. More than three decades and countless projects later, Bob helped build Colorado Public Radio into a state-wide network, connecting 32 Colorado counties across more than 26,000 square miles.

For more than two decades, Mary Verdieck served as a personal link between CPR and the Western Slope, Vail Valley and Roaring Fork Valley. Working as a CPR underwriting associate in an office on Main Street in downtown Grand Junction, Mary was a mainstay and familiar face in the commu-nity, helping area businesses engage their customers statewide through CPR underwriting. Not only did she help connect CPR to Western Slope commu-nities, but she connected Denver-based CPR staff

members to Western Slope produce, organizing a much anticipated shipment of locally grown peaches down Interstate 70 each summer.

Bob and Mary both retired from CPR

this year, and their combined 50 years of service to Colorado Public Radio

characterizes staff members’

collective commit-ment to connecting

and enriching the Colorado community. The longevity of service and expertise that propels our success is one of our biggest strengths as an organization.

We recognize the critical role staff members have played in shaping Colorado Public Radio’s service to the community for nearly half a century, and we’re taking steps to develop the next generation of public radio talent to ensure that tradi-tion of service continues.

This year, we launched the CPR Fellowship Program, which currently supports two year-long, full-time, paid opportunities in news and music. These are the first in what will hopefully be a long line of annually ap-pointed fellows—any of whom could be the next Bob Hensler or Mary Verdieck.

As we honor staff contri-butions and plan for CPR’s future, we recognize that without the commitment and generosity of so many supporters, our work to en-rich and connect the Colo-rado community would not be possible. We thank each and every one of you for your support and invite you to join us as we reflect on this year’s accomplishments.

personal connections

Education Reporter Jenny Brundin shared the story of a high school senior supporting himself and living in poverty. CPR listeners initiated a crowdfunding campaign to support the student’s college education, and one listener connected with him to offer tutoring, mentor-ing and housing.

Coloradans depend on CPR News not only for these and other stories but, more importantly, to feel connected to their neighbors and the world outside Colorado. Our distribution of national stories and programs gives context beyond state lines and makes up more than 10 percent of our program-ming costs. Simultaneously,

CPR’s quality, in-depth reporting puts Colorado issues on the map for people outside our state. Throughout 2015, NPR frequently broad-

cast reports produced by Colorado Public Radio’s news team, including our story about Denver’s fast-growing restaurant scene and our report on the 150th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre. NPR News editors look to CPR for deep, reliable, timely reporting on Colorado stories that impact the nation. For instance, NPR relied on the CPR News team to cover the entire Aurora theater shooting trial in lieu of sending its own reporters.

This year, listeners turned to CPR for daily news updates with their morning coffee, for a bit of comfort in the familiar voice of a news host and for inter-esting topics to discuss with friends and neighbors. Whatever their reasons, hundreds of thousands of people tuned in and found what they were looking for, and the generosity and passion of CPR supporters made that possible.

Jenny Brundin with some award-winning members of the CPR News team: Corey Jones, Sadie Babits and Ben Markus.

“ As a result of CPR News coverage, we are having many more, and much deeper, conversations with folks across the state, including policy makers and community leaders.”

Chris watNey President and CEO,

Colorado Children’s Campaign

In a media landscape where in-depth news

sources are scarce, commu-nity-centered journalism is critical to our understand-ing of the world and our connections to one another. With steady support from CPR members and under-writers, our news team is enriching Colorado commu-nities through innovative, in-depth reporting that cannot be found elsewhere. Colorado Public Radio empowers Coloradans to learn about emerging stories, gain deeper understanding of the issues impacting our state and develop mean- ingful connections to their community.

This year, CPR has gone one step further to measure the impact our journalism has on the Colorado com-munity, using an ongoing series exploring children in poverty as a test case. Over the course of the year, CPR reporters published more than 70 stories for the series, covering the issue from various angles, con-tinually seeking feedback and reaching out to specific organizations, agencies and individuals for input. As a result of these efforts, we’ve seen that CPR re-porting has a ripple effect, which bolsters the strength and interconnectedness of our community.

Public discourse

General Assignment Reporter Megan Verlee wrote about Colorado’s child care subsidy program and its role in affordable

child care. Several months later, state Sen. Kevin Lundberg cited

this coverage when he proposed a bill to deregu-late home-based child care operations.

AmplifiedThe Power of Music

Annual Report 2014–2015 Colorado PubliC radio 9

Music is a powerful vehicle for storytelling,

transcending generations and languages, while inciting a deep connection to the human experience. Backed by a community of pas-sionate supporters, we can share the power of music and provide a resource for music discovery—whether you’re looking for insights about a famous composer, seeking inspiration from an unknown melody, exploring variety within Colorado’s thriving music community or simply relaxing in the company of music.

Listeners enjoy a wide range of music to satisfy their curiosity and delight their senses, as well as intriguing context, helpful perspective and that fascinating tidbit of information provided by knowledgeable CPR music hosts. Our music services are an inextricable part of our mission, and with listener support, we expanded offer-ings for both CPR Classical and OpenAir this year.

CPR Classical enriched listening opportunities

with a 24-hour classical music broadcast,

complemented by online stories, interviews, videos and live performances that connected

listeners to music in poignant and meaningful ways. Through an ex-pansive schedule of year-round live broadcasts, listeners could

savor the very best classical music

Colorado has to offer —like performances from

the Aspen Music Festival and School and Bravo! Vail. In 2015, classical music hosts traveled hundreds of miles across Colorado to present an average of two live broadcasts each month. These broad-casts included CPR Classical’s annual “SummerFest” concert series, high-lighting classical music festivals statewide, with the first-ever live broadcast from the Colorado College Summer Music Festival.

Coloradans also cheered the arrival of OpenAir on FM. Meeting an expressed lis-tener need to improve quality and accessibility, Colorado Public Radio was able to purchase a new signal for OpenAir at 102.3 FM in Denver and Boulder. We heard from music fans who said they had stopped listening to radio altogether, until they discovered OpenAir on the FM dial.

The OpenAir team contin-ues to generate more original content than ever before, including a milestone 1,000th song recorded this year in the CPR Performance Studio—fittingly, during a performance by the very first band OpenAir brought into the studio in 2011: Snake Rattle Rattle Snake.Music lovers in Colorado and beyond can watch videos of these exclusive recordings on OpenAir’s

YouTube channel.

The CPR Performance Studio frequently hosts

local musicians, provid-ing a stage to showcase

the depth and variety of talent fueling

Colorado’s robust music scene.

At CPR, Colorado musicians—from Boulder classical conductor and violinistZachary Carrettin to Denver singer-songwriterNathaniel Rateliff—find rich exposure for their artistic expressions and meaningful connections with fans.

With help from CPR members, underwriters and supporters, we are nurturing a more vibrant and connected community of musicians and music lovers who are experiencing the transformative power of music and discovering its integral role in everyday life.

For 45 years, we’ve served our listeners

through radio, delivering in-depth news and music through a dependable statewide network that’s accessed with the flip of a switch. While radio will always be a central part of our identity and our primary focus, we know that in 2015 our listeners and supporters are looking to connect with Colorado Public Radio in more ways. Thanks to member and underwriter contributions, we’re meeting this need with a growing digital service that connects Coloradans to one another

and to the world. CPR is more than radio: it’s a com-prehensive resource that’s available whenever and wherever you need it.

CPR’s statewide network is steadily expanding to serve more communities. At the same time, our online audi-ence is increasing rapidly as people have the opportunity to find additional context for the stories and music they hear on the radio. This year, monthly website traffic increased by 75 percent, with more people than ever before coming to cpr.org for live streaming, news insights, music downloads and more. Distribution of news and music through many different channels

means that our listeners, readers and viewers had more control to access Colorado Public Radio wherever it was convenient— listening to the news behind the wheel in a traffic jam, reading an article on the train

during their commute or downloading music

at the airport before their flight.

To support a mobile and connected audience, our in-house production team grew this year and, with it, the quality of digital content. People can easily access a story or discover a piece of music that they may have missed if it hadn’t been available digitally. Colorado Public Radio now offers more interactive content to enhance the radio experi-ence, connecting ideas and telling stories in new ways with photos, videos and interactive maps. For the first time, we’re able to see these connections develop and multiply.
