About KCME

88.7 KCME-FM is an independent public radio station that broadcasts classical music twenty-four hours a day. Founded in 1977, KCME's studios were located in a small house near a babbling creek in Manitou Springs, Colorado.

Over the years, KCME has grown to the point where it now broadcasts its signal over a much wider area from its transmitter high atop Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs

KCME has expanded its services to other communities who have expressed a desire to hear the station, with translators serving:

• Cañon City / Florence (91.1 FM)
• Manitou Springs (88.7 FM)
• Salida (89.5 FM)
• Cripple Creek / Victor (89.5 FM)
• Woodland Park (93.5 FM)

By satellite transmission, KCME's signal is heard in mountainous areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach and, in the future, KCME expects to broadcast to additional communities. The added ability to broadcast its signal over the internet means that KCME is now heard literally anywhere in the world.

With its studios now located in Colorado Springs, KCME's operating revenues are derived from membership drives and from the sale of on-air program sponsorship announcements to community-minded businesses, thus assuring that one hundred percent of its support comes from the community it serves.
