Adult Album Alternative "The Cloud" KKCL 1550 AM/96.9 FM Denver is now on the air

[Rob]

I noticed this weekend that AAA KKCL 1550 AM/96.9 FM (The Cloud (http://thecloud.fm/)) is now on the air. Right now it seems they aren't running any station IDs or have any live personalities as of yet. The music format is close to what iHeart AAA KBCO 97.3 FM is doing.


The 96.9 FM signal seems to cover most of Denver pretty well.
I drove from Broomfield to Parker last night and once I got into south Aurora, KCCY 96.9 FM Colorado Springs signal would come in at times over it.

The station is owned by Chuck Lontine (http://marconiventures.blogspot.com/), who has been trying to get the station on the air for many years.

It's good to see another new locally-owned station hit the airwaves. I'm intrigued to see what they do.

They must be testing, because they are off the air now.
