KRCN (1060 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Catholic radio format. Licensed to Longmont, Colorado, the station is owned and operated by Catholic Radio Network, Inc., which has a network of stations in Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. In Colorado, the Catholic Radio Network also operates KFEL 970 AM in Colorado Springs and KCRN 1120 AM in Limon.

KRCN broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for FCC-licensed AM radio stations. But because AM 1060 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A XECPAE Mexico City and KYW Philadelphia, KRCN must greatly reduce nighttime power. It drops to only 111 watts at sunset. KRCN can also be heard on an FM translator station in Greeley, Colorado, 92.1 K221GI.
