About us
Something special is happening in Colorado media. We are making waves—and not just sound waves—by enhancing how public media serves and connects with our communities.
Coloradans looking for old school crate classics, new vibe music, or the state’s most promising independent artists have a home on Denver’s THE DROP 104.7, “The People’s Station for R&B and Hip Hop.”
A part of Rocky Mountain Public Media, THE DROP 104.7 is one of just six “urban alternative” public radio stations in the country, and seeks to be a space for music discovery and community convening.
