Rocky Mountain Public Broadcasting
Network, enriching the lives of
Coloradans through engaging and
essential programs, services, and

media mean to you?
We were on vacation and Finn and his dad
were about to go on a submarine tour
they had held up this sponge and before
they could say what it was
Finn said "Oh that's a sponge." And they looked
at each other and they said "Well, yes it is."
And then he said "Oh yeah turtles eat
those." And they said "Yes they do, how do
you know that?" He said "I learned it from
Wild Kratts." He wasn't even yet four years
old but already he had learned something
that he retained and was able to use and
that's totally down to PBS KIDS. Colorado
family's trust Rocky Mountain PBS to
educate and entertain their children in
a safe and reliable environment reaching
99 percent of all TV households in Colorado.
With 30 percent of our programming
dedicated to children,
Colorado's families know that anytime is
learning time on Rocky Mountain PBS.
I love teaching middle school and young
adolescents. Studying history is really
important so that young people begin to
develop empathy. Colorado Experience has
provided for my students an
understanding of how individuals have
contributed. Having a digital media
source that's publicly and very very
easily accessible is an incredible way
for everyone to learn.
Sharing my love of music with kids
makes me feel whole,
it makes me feel complete. I remember my
first guitar when I was little and I
didn't even know what I was doing but I
had Beatles tapes and so I would play along.
It really struck me that this is
something that I want to do for the rest
of my life at the end of high school and
definitely through the jazz program and
getting the opportunity to play on
KUVO. I listen to jazz every morning
on KUVO it's my daily routine. One of my
more favorite parts is I don't get
blasted with a bunch of commercials and
it's music and it's intelligent music
Voted the number one
jazz station in the world by the London
Telegraph, KUVO is an anchor for
music lovers across the globe and with
two additional HD radio channels
listeners can hear an eclectic mix of
music or get news 24 hours a day.
Growing up in the Montebello community
with the talk about the the schools
failing it was an obstacle that I had to
overcome. That judgment that came with
this failing school stigma it made it
tough. I realized the inequity in the
midst of the experience. We knew as
students that you know an "A" in our
classroom did not mean the same as an "A"
in a community across the state. To see
the data it definitely confirmed that I
wasn't crazy. That you know this was a
true reality. "Standing in the Gap" was a
documentary that was presented on Rocky
Mountain PBS. The outreach of "Standing in the
Gap" was extremely important. It brought
the conversation to the table. It also
empowered action and now you have an
opportunity to connect
say what are we going to do about it.
When you talk about a public
broadcasting station that is going to
simply bring the truth and the reality
without the agenda, that's the reason why
it's important.
We've got to be able to have a platform
and an outlet that we can give the
honest truth to. It secures our voice.
