KVCU

KVCU AM 1190, popularly known as Radio 1190 is a college radio station affiliated with the University of Colorado Boulder. Staff of the station are compensated with funds provided by the University of Colorado Student Government while a portion of the station's operating funds are raised during biannual on-air pledge drives. The station was formerly identified as KUCB. In 1996 Jacor Communications donated equipment including a transmitter from KBCO to the University of Colorado Foundation. After two years of negotiating and planning Radio 1190 at the University of Colorado Boulder went live in 1998.[1] In October 2011, Mikey Goldenberg of Alice 105.9 became the new General Manager of the station. He replaced Mike Flanagan, who left the station after 6 years as GM to become the General Manager of newly founded Open Air CPR. When asked about his relationship with Radio 1190, Flanagan stated "we're going to have a good relationship with 1190 -- and I'm going to be more sensitive to not step on their toes, because I have a real affection for them and want them to be successful."[2]
