Cañon City radio stations announce they are preparing to sign off in Fremont County

By BREEANNA JENT | The Gazette A popular Cañon City country radio station and its news/talk sister station will cease operations at the beginning of the new year. Nebraska-based Royal Gorge Broadcasting will close down both the 104.5 Star Country KSTY and news/talk 1400 KRLN radio stations on Jan. 1, according to a Dec. 23 written statement posted on Facebook pages for both stations and signed by “the staff.” The venerable KRLN serves Fremont County and started broadcasting on Aug. 15, 1947. KSTY, which serves Cañon City, Pueblo and the Colorado Springs area, first broadcast on June 1, 1975 as KRLN-FM. It was a country music station by 1991 and became KSTY on Dec. 30, 1994.

Baldauf: Voters ignored biased perspective of broadcast and print news in ’24 election

By Michael Baldauf | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Have you ever found yourself in a group where you discovered the leader was corrupt?  Maybe it was a church, where the pastor was not living the message, or a volunteer organization, where the leaders were taking advantage of their positions.  I would guess if you could not do anything to correct the situation you probably got away. People ask me why I don’t watch national newscasts on broadcast television anymore.  The answer is the same.  For about 40 years they have demonstrated that they are not interested in being a source for unbiased reporting.  The latest Gallop Poll found that almost 70 percent of the public said they do not trust the media.  The recent elections are an example of...

As inflation rears its ugly head again, election-meddling media go to bat for Biden-Harris

Harris is proud of her economic track record, even though it has forced the price hikes Americans strongly oppose By Jordan Boyd | The Federalist Less than one month before Election Day, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ published data confirms that the consequences of Democrats’ disastrous economic policies have continued to plague Americans. Democrats and their corporate media and economic “expert” allies preemptively claimed inflation would “return to normal” just in time for the 2024 face-off. Shortly after the July 2024 consumer price index was released, former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council Bharat Ramamurti even went so far as to declare that “We’ve won the battle against inflation.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE F...

Caldara: Colorado Press Association rewards secretive government

 By Jon Caldera, Commentary | Complete Colorado What’s worse: people in political power shielding their activity from public oversight or the media celebrating them for doing so? Fortunately, in Colorado we don’t have to choose. We get both! The Colorado Press Association (CPA) has bestowed its “Defender of Free Press” award to the very same legislators who earlier this year passed a law to keep the press, and citizens, out of their meetings. Yes, these grand defenders of the Fourth Estate voted to exempt themselves from the Colorado Open Meetings Law so we can’t see what they’re doing — definitely award-worthy.

Shafer: Here’s what the shakeup at the Washington Post really means

By JACK SHAFER | The Washington Times Like the owner’s manual that sends you searching YouTube for additional and useable instructions, Washington Post Publisher and CEO Sir William Lewis’ 900-word memo to his staff, emailed Sunday night, perplexes more than it enlightens. The headline news, of course, is simple enough: Lewis showed the door to Executive Editor Sally Buzbee, installed just three years ago by previous publisher Fred Ryan, who left last year after a bit of turbulence of his own. In her place, Lewis recruited two long-time former colleagues to actually produce the paper, Matt Murray and by year’s end, Robert Winnett. Beyond that, the Lewis memo fails to illuminate the paper’s new path. Like all reorg charts, the ...

Pavlich: Your hard-earned dollars shouldn’t go to Leftist media outlets

By Katie Pavlich | Townhall.com Each year, more than $500 million of your hard-earned tax dollars get funneled through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and into the bank account of National Public Radio (NPR), a far-left media outlet dedicated to tearing down America and the values you believe in. NPR claims to be "an independent news organization committed to informing the public about the world around us." But for decades, NPR has been dedicated to attacking conservatives and carrying water for Democratic politicians. Remember this from the 2020 presidential election? "We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners' and readers' time on stories that are just pure distractions," NPR Managing Editor Samuels s...

Sullivan: No, they are not ‘mainstream’

By Michael Quinn Sullivan | Texas Scorecard We often hear people refer to the collection of leftist newspapers and television networks that once held sway over the dissemination of facts and opinions as the “mainstream media.” In fact, there is nothing “mainstream” about them. By definition, the dying legacy outlets are NOT mainstream. The clearest evidence for this is found in their declining sales, diminishing market penetration, and nonexistent economic viability. If the newspapers and networks that get so casually labeled “mainstream” actually were, they wouldn’t be laying off staff as their circulations and viewerships plummet. Texas newspapers, for example, have fewer readers today than ever before, despite the massive surge in the state’s population. Sure, they...
