KDUR, community radio providing opportunities for La Plata County

KDUR is Fort Lewis College's radio station in sunny Durango, Colorado. From NPR favorites like This American Life and BBC Newshour to homegrown programs, this is what community radio is all about.

KDUR, volunteer-powered community radio, creates a bridge between Fort Lewis College and La Plata County, offering diverse music, alternative news, and local public affairs programming. KDUR provides educational and training opportunities in a professional setting for Fort Lewis College students and community members.

Ever wonder why some radio stations start with K and others with a W? As a general rule, stations west of the Mississippi River are assigned a K call letter and those to the east, a W. But not all the time. And that doesn't explain why this is so. Just like organic chemistry and Liz Taylor's relationship with Richard Burton, it's complicated.
