Power has been restored to the transmitter facility serving Summit County, and our programming is back on the air. Repairs at the site are ongoing, and listeners may experience intermittent service disruptions as our partners at Summit Public Radio and TV complete restoration work. We appreciate your patience.

Margot Chobanian

Program Director, The Colorado Sound

I wear a lot of hats at the Colorado Sound (okay, that’s a lie, I hate wearing hats) but I do many things to keep the Colorado Sound the station you love.

First is the music. I listen to LOTS of music. Of course, there’s my show, every weekday 10-3, and I also research and record my syndicated music history show Music 101. I take my love of music into the community and try to help however I can to facilitate the growth of the Colorado music scene.

Sometimes I sleep. Mostly I drink a lot of coffee!

Until The Colorado Sound, I worked in commercial radio for 25 years and started my own internet station. I love radio in all its forms but working in public radio is a joy. Working with listeners to create great radio is a privilege; one I never forget.

Colorado is night and day from Atlanta, where I made my radio home for over 13 years. I love it here. Colorado is wonderful!

My husband Steven and I live in Fort Collins with our 3 dogs, Wesley, Anya, and Violet. (Occasionally I bring them to work and you’ve probably heard them bark while I was talking on-air.) When we’re not out exploring Colorado with the dogs, I’m usually reading something about history.
