Colorado Public Radio (CPR) is a public radio state network based in Denver, Colorado that broadcasts three services: news, classical music and Indie 102.3, which plays adult album alternative music. CPR airs its programming on 15 full-power stations, augmented by 17 translators. Their combined signal reaches 80 percent of Colorado.[1] CPR also manages KRCC, the NPR member station in Colorado Springs, in partnership with the station's owner, Colorado College.

As of 2013, CPR had 440,000 weekly listeners, 47,000 contributing members and annual revenue of $14 million.[1] In early-March 2019, CPR acquired hyperlocal news site Denverite from Spirited Media to bolster its web news coverage for locals.[2][3][4][5][6]

CPR is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization. Private support from listeners, corporations, foundations and partners accounts for approximately 95 percent of CPR's total budget.
