KVNF (90.9 FM), is a National Public Radio-affiliated community radio station in Paonia, Colorado. It features locally hosted music programming, independently produced public radio programs, local news and interviews, as well as National Public Radio programming. KVNF serves Western Colorado via two stations with full-power licenses (KVNF 90.9 FM and KVMT 89.1 FM) and four translators. All transmitters carry the same programming and are needed to cover KVNF’s large and mountainous listening area.
As of early 2025, KVNF received 20% of its funding from the federal government via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.[3]
