NEWS for YOU

The News Nugget is a collaboration between KHEN and the Ark Valley Voice, Chaffee County’s premier source for independent, fact-based journalism reminding you that “Truth Has a Voice.” We’ll be coming to you every Thursday morning at 9:45 a.m. on KHEN, and you can also access our podcast here, or at arkvalleyvoice.com. 

Rocky Mountain Community Radio (RMCR) is a coalition of non-commercial radio stations in CO, NM, UT, and WY. Check out their weekly news roundup on Thursdays at 11 a.m. each week.

In honor of our 20th Anniversary, DJ Lisa Ledwith fame contributes a piece to Colorado Central Magazine outlining some of KHEN’s early history and origins as a pirate station. Photo shows Mark Minor holding the original 1-watt transmitter he built using a kit from Free Radio Berkeley.
