KNRV
KNRV (1150 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Spanish-language talk radio format. Licensed to Englewood, Colorado, KNRV serves the Denver metropolitan area, but with a good working radio, it has quality reception from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins. The station is currently owned by Amigo Multimedia Inc. Programming is also heard on an FM translator station, 96.1 K241CP, in Englewood. Most of KNRV's daytime programming is made up of paid brokered programming in which the host pays for the time on the air and is supported by his own advertisers. At night, programming is  largely from the Radio Fórmula talk network based in Mexico City. KNRV is the Spanish-language flagship station for Colorado Rockies baseball and Denver Broncos football. History. The station began as 1220 kHz KGMC in January 1951. It was a daytimer powered at 1,000 watts and required to be off the air at night. KGMC was owned by Grady Franklin Maples. The next year, the station moved to 1150 kHz. Maples sold KGMC to MacLee Radio in 1958. MacLee later sold the station to Western Broadcasting Corporation, owned by Corky Cartwright and Marvin Davis, in 1975. Western changed the call  sign to KWBZ. During this time, Alan Berg hosted a talk show on the station. Berg was fired when the station flipped to country music, though he came back when the station returned to a talk format. In 1984, Berg was shot to death outside his home in Denver. New Radio Venture, including its Spanish talk radio stations in Denver and Phoenix, was sold out of bankruptcy to Amigo Multimedia in 2011. Amigo is headquartered in Denver.
