KTCL (93.3 FM) is a commercial radio station owned by Clear Channel Communications that airs a modern rock music format. Licensed to Wheat Ridge, Colorado, it serves the Denver, Colorado area. The station uses the branding "Channel 93.3".

History

The station signed on in 1965 with the call letters KFMF and licensed to Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1975, KFMF adopted a rock music format. It changed its calls to KTCL in 1978 and evolving to the modern rock format in the early 1980s. In 2007, it changed its city of license to Wheat Ridge to provide clearer coverage over the Denver area. It can still be received in Fort Collins.

KTCL helped break local bands The Fray, Meese, 3OH!3, Single File, Tickle Me Pink, and Flobots onto the national scene.^{[citation needed]}

KTCL has become a source of pride for listeners of modern rock in Colorado, largely due to its commitment to the promotion of local modern rock bands. This promotion of local bands was the primary catalyst for success for the aforementioned bands. In fact, the unexpected and immense success enjoyed by The Fray as a result of their promotion by KTCL has caused many Colorado modern rock listeners to refer to The Fray as "93.3's baby."^{[citation needed]}
