Shape the Future of Public Radio: Join Our Community Advisory Board
The Community Advisory Board of the Cheyenne Mountain Public Broadcast House (CMPBH) nonprofit organization serves as the vibrant core of our outreach, providing strategic feedback on our programming and assisting in our growth. We are seeking 13 dynamic members to represent the true breadth of our listeners. The application is quick and easy with a deadline to apply of September 1, 2026, by 5:00 p.m. MST. We will respond to all applicants by the second week of September. Click here to learn more and to access the application. We look forward to hearing from you.
Our reimagined CAB is a team designed to be not only well-informed and impactful, but also a genuinely fun and dynamic group to join! While you will not act as a voting or policy-setting board, your voice carries immense weight. As a CAB member, you will provide strategic feedback on our programming, assist in growing our base of support and volunteers, and help ensure our stations are positioned for long-term success. This group will also serve as a valuable pipeline for future organizational leadership.
CAB members will represent the true breadth of our listeners serving Classical KCME, Jazz 93.5 and the entire nonprofit organization. We are looking for a vibrant mix of backgrounds and life stages, welcoming the distinct viewpoints of higher education students, established professionals, seasoned community leaders, and residents spread across our entire broadcast map—from Salida and Buena Vista to Pueblo, Walsenburg, and Castle Rock, and of course, Colorado Springs.
What to Expect:
- A time commitment of 2–6 hours per month.
- Monthly meetings at first (with Zoom access available to facilitate attendance for all) with the potential to transition to bi-monthly meetings.
- Acting as advocates for our mission at community events.
- If you are ready to make a tangible impact and be the “eyes and ears” of our listening community, we would love to hear from you.
Our History
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 brook in Manitou Springs, Colorado. In March of 1993 KCME moved its studios and offices to the present location.
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 that have expressed a desire to hear the station, with translators serving:
- Manitou Springs (88.7 FM)
- Nathrop / Salida / Buena Vista (88.1 FM)
- Cañon City / Florence / Penrose (91.1 FM)
- Breckenridge / Summit County (89.3 FM)
Through our Cheyenne Mountain transmitter and a network of broadcast translators, KCME and Jazz 93.5 reach listeners in mountain and rural plains communities that would otherwise be difficult to serve. Beyond our regional footprint, our satellite transmission, internet streaming and online app ensure that our stations are heard globally. We are always looking forward and expect to expand our terrestrial broadcast to even more communities in the future.
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 its support comes from the community it serves.
