KTUN-FM (101.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Classic rock format. Licensed to Eagle, Colorado, USA, it serves the Roaring Fork Valley, the Vail Valley, and Summit County. The station is currently owned by NRC Broadcasting Mountain Group.
The Rocky Mountain’s favorite Classic rock station, KTUN, is a personality-driven radio station, The Eagle’s average listener is the educated baby boomer. Some artists featured on “The Eagle” include: The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Grateful Dead, CSNY, The Eagles, Tom Petty and Rolling Stones. KTUN sponsors several local events to support our local communities.
KTUN launched in 1984 as KGMJ, a country-music formatted radio station transmitting at 101.5 MhZ with 36.6kw radiated power. Original owners, Gloria and George "Judge" Jones Sr. launched the station in the ground floor of a building owned by Eagle Telecommunications, Inc., in downtown Eagle, CO. Transmitter and antenna were then, as now, located at West Castle Peak in the New York Mountain range. To differentiate itself from other stations, the station featured many local artists and bands of the time. Personalities were live around the clock until late 1985, when expense cuts caused the owners to bring in a satellite delivered country music format.
KGMJ flipped formats and call letters to KEYQ in January 1987, originating an adult contemporary format mixed with smooth jazz selections. The Jones family sold the station in 1987 to an absentee owner out of San Diego.
