KVCU AM 1190, popularly known as Radio 1190 is a college radio station affiliated with the University of Colorado Boulder. Staff of the station are compensated with funds provided by the University of Colorado Student Government while a portion of the station's operating funds are raised during biannual on-air pledge drives. The station was formerly identified as KUCB. In 1996 Jacor Communications donated equipment including a transmitter from KBCO to the University of Colorado Foundation. After two years of negotiating and planning Radio 1190 at the University of Colorado Boulder went live in 1998. In October 2011, Mikey Goldenberg of Alice 105.9 became the new General Manager of the station. He replaced Mike Flanagan, who left the station after 6 years as GM to become the General Manager of newly founded Open Air CPR. When asked about his relationship with Radio 1190, Flanagan stated "we're going to have a good relationship with 1190 -- and I'm going to be more sensitive to not step on their toes, because I have a real affection for them and want them to be successful."

Programming

Radio 1190's shows are mostly ran by volunteers, though many of the managers of the station have shows as well. The volunteers come either from the college student body, or from outside community members.
