COMMUNITY RADIO FOR NORTHERN COLORADO Sports KJAC (105.5 ESPN)/TIMNATH-FORT COLLINS has flipped to Triple A as “105-5 THE COLORADO SOUND.”
PARAGON CEO MIKE HENRY posted to the company blog, "All new station launches are special, but this one was even more special for so many reasons. First, it’s who is involved. There simply isn’t a better group of people or professionals than what has been assembled at 'THE COLORADO SOUND'. President/General Manager NEIL BEST is known far and wide as one of the best managers in public radio for his long-term leadership at KUNC-FM, which as of today is 100% NPR News/Talk with the best local news staff in the state.

"The management team is filled out by COO JAMIE WOOD, and Marketing Director ROBERT LEJA, who has been building bridges into the local music community for almost 10 years before the launch of the new 105.5 FM station. The programming team is mostly local and 100% great! Leading the charge is market veteran and Music Director BENJI MCPHAIL, with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with for over a year plotting today’s launch. Two more market pros hold down drive-time air shifts, with RON BOSTWICK in mornings and KEEFER (ex-KBCO and Open Air) in afternoons. Joining the team from ATLANTA (ex-DAVE FM) is MARGOT CHOBANIAN, who is the midday music host and doubling in the digital department."

Community Radio For Northern Colorado debuted its new AAA “105.5 The Colorado Sound” KJAC Tinmath/Fort Collins CO today.

CRNC purchased then Sports “ESPN Denver” in December from Front Range Sports Network for $3 million. KJAC will allow new sister 91.5 KUNC Greeley to drop its music programming to focus completely on Public News/Talk.

The KJAC staff will include former KBCO host Ron Bostwick in mornings and former “92.9 Dave-FM” WZGC Atlanta host Margot Chobanian in middays. Former KBCO host Keefer Fulgham, who joined KUNC last year will serve as MD/afternoon host and KUNC host Benji will move to nights.

I have a question for everyone?
Has anyone had any problems streaming this station at Coloradosound.org?
Everytime i click streaming and on Kunc Music nothing plays? But than oddly, I tired it out on my LG G4 and it played?
I am curious if any tried to stream it yet on their computer?

Well, ok so it works for you? I don't get it now, I rebooted my system and tired it again in Chrom and in Microsoft Edge and still nothing!
This is nuts! And frustrating!

Well I do get it work, but in the only player that would play it! Which is strange? Since I tired it in Tunein.com and it would show it was playing with out the sound.
So I tired windows media player, same thing.. copied the link and nothing no sound. So I figured i would try one last player..
VLC ( it worked).. I am not sure why it only worked in that player but failed to work from the Colorado sound's web site and Tunein? Really strange.
