KAJX

KAJX (91.5 FM) and KCJX(88.9 FM) are radio stations simulcasting a majority NPR news format. The stations are licensed to Roaring Fork Public Radio, Inc. (DBA as Aspen Public Radio) in Aspen, Colorado (KAJX) and Carbondale, Colorado (KCJX). 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(c)(3) corporation. The station was founded as Roaring Fork Public Radio Translator, Inc., in 1981 by Isaiah (Sy) Coleman. From 1981 to 1988, the station served as a repeater station for Wyoming Public Radio. In 1988 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 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.

The station partners with local cultural institutions like the Aspen Music Festival and School, and the Aspen Institute to broadcast and re-broadcast select concerts and lectures to its entire listening public.

Aspen Public Radio has a Community Advisory Board that is in compliance with the requirements of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The purpose of the advisory board is to provide a vehicle for effective community input to the station's governing body about station programming, community service and impact on the community. The law segregates the management and operational functions of the governing board from the functions of the advisory board to ensure a clear demarcation between the governing board and the advisory board. The composition of the community advisory board must reflect its independent role, and may not include members of the station staff or governing body in anything other than ex officio or administrative capacity. The Community Advisory Board meetings are listed on Aspen Public Radio's website.

Tammy Terwelp is the current executive director.
