Jim Hill

Digital Media Manager

If someone offers you the chance to do what you've always wanted, you always say yes. So you can imagine my excitement to join KUNC as the Digital Media Manager.

Media is at a cross-roads right now and the rate of change and new technology is almost breathtaking. It's an exciting time to build a stronger community with your members and listeners. Radio has always been your friend, now we can be the bestest buddies thanks to social media and the web.

I’m not a Colorado native (did you know that "I'm from Missouri" means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced"?) but I have lived here for most of my life and couldn’t imagine leaving. After graduating from Colorado State University, I did what everyone wants to do; I moved to the mountains and skied, hiked, and hid from responsibility! Our listeners in the mountains may know me from my time in Steamboat Springs and Vail or as the voice of the Battle Mountain Huskies Hockey team in Vail.

I now call Denver home and I dig the easy access to the mountains as well as the live music, theater and pro & college hockey. When I am not enjoying any of the previous, I love to cook, work on improving my barbecue or constantly rediscover albums I forgot I had in an ever growing music collection.

Prepared Text of the President's Denver Speech

Hello, Denver! It is great to be back in Colorado. It is an honor to be here at Lincoln High School. And I want to give Amelia a special thank you for that introduction. Amelia's a great example of how smarter courses and better technology can help guarantee our kids the foundation they need to learn, and graduate, and compete in this economy.
