KAJX
KAJX and KCJX are radio stations simulcasting a majority NPR news format. The stations are licensed to Roaring Fork Public Radio, Inc. in Aspen, Colorado and Carbondale, Colorado. Located in Aspen, the non-commercial station is governed by a board of directors. It serves Roaring Fork, Crystal, Fryingpan, and Eagle River valleys in the state of Colorado.
The station is overseen by Roaring Fork Public Radio, Inc., a 501 corporation. The station was founded as Roaring Fork Public Radio Translator, Inc., in 1981 by Isaiah Coleman. From 1981 to 1988, the station served as a repeater station for Wyoming Public Radio. In 1988 the Federal Communications Commission granted KAJX, Aspen Public Radio the license to broadcast, paving the way for Aspen Public Radio to broadcast locally originated programs as well as the national shows it chooses. In 2002 the FCC granted Aspen Public Radio its second license, KCJX, Carbondale. KAJX, Aspen, and KCJX, Carbondale, broadcast the same stream.
Aspen Public Radio provides local news broadcasts and reporting each weekday as well as national news and cultural affairs programming from National Public Radio, Public Radio International, American Public Media, PRX, and the BBC.
