Jazz radio station KUVO earns top rating from across the pond

June 2, 2014

Denver’s own KUVO 89.3-FM public radio station was named one of the best Internet jazz radio stations worldwide by Pete Naughton a writer for “The Telegraph” in London, one of the United Kingdom’s’ top media outlets.

According to the story posted at www.kuvo.org/kuvo-news, Naughton, who writes for “The Telegraph’s” podcasts and internet radio columns, listed KUVO as one of the top three best “Jazz & Soul Internet Radio Stations” he’s discovered across the world. Below is what he reported in his on-line column, “Best Internet Radio Stations” on May 26.

“I stumbled upon this award-winning music station by accident recently – and have been kicking myself for not finding it sooner. Based in Denver, Colorado, its artfully-curated playlists mostly focus on jazz – broadcasting everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Madeleine Peyroux. A class act.”

“We knew KUVO was a gem when we merged our public media organizations last year,” said Doug Price, president and CEO of Rocky Mountain PBS. “We’re proud of the work they do and the valuable service they provide to our Colorado community.  We are excited for the future and the international doors that have been opened with the online radio stations and mobile app.”

KUVO serves a diverse audience that loves jazz  – all styles of jazz. The station’s line-up reflects the flavors of jazz from around the world.

“We are proud of this international recognition,” said Carlos Lando, KUVO’s general manager. “We’ve always been proud of our long tradition of sharing jazz, blues, and news with our loyal listeners in our community.  But, it’s really fantastic that our community is growing worldwide. We have fans from Japan, Spain, China, and apparently the UK.”
