Westword honors Radio 1190
"Back in 1998, before it was subsumed by Clear Channel, Jacor wound up
with one more station than it could keep under FCC rules. Instead of
holding a fire sale, execs donated it to the University of Colorado at
Boulder, which up until then had made do with a school radio station that
broadcast to the dorms using carrier current. A decade later, Radio 1190
is a station worthy of celebrating, with a reach that goes far outside of
CU and even Boulder. It's an oasis of exciting music, creative programming
and community support in a desert of corporate mediocrity. Happy tenth,
and may there be many more anniversaries to follow."
-Westword, Best of Denver 2008

Featured Show:
Krewe de Louisianne
The Krewe de Louisianne brings a musical gumbo to the Radio 1190 airwaves and internet connections every Sunday afternoon from 2 – 4 p.m. {MDT}. The Krewe focuses on artists from and tunes about Louisiana – songs that vary in their origins {New Orleans street corners, sugar cane fields, sawmill juke joints, and backwater bayous} as much as they vary in style {Cajun, zydeco, gospel, jazz, funk, swamp pop, brass band, rock n roll, blues, and R&B}.
The show aims to provide healthy portions of both familiar songs and obscure recordings; each helping sprinkled and flavoured with a diverse selection of musical ingredients…..early 20th century jazz compositions {Jelly Roll Morton} can be followed by contemporary zydeco offerings {Geno Delafose & The French Rockin’ Boogie} which in turn might give way to 1950s R&B arrangements {Dave Bartholomew}, brass band second line tunes {Dirty Dozen Brass Band}, and sultry swamp blues {Papa Lighfoot}. On occassion, the Krewe features recorded interviews with local and national touring musicians as well as live in-studio appearances.
The Krewe de Louisianne is always looking for new members to join the party; so be sure to tune in on Sunday afternoons for the ultimate Louisiana music mix tape!
