Rocky Mountain Community Radio Regional Roundup

Rocky Mountain Community Radio (RMCR) is a coalition of non-commercial radio stations in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Member stations broadcast diverse news and music programming. KHEN is a proud member!

RMCR collaborates to produce news and enterprise journalism that connects our communities. In the Spring of 2022, RMCR hired a new Managing Editor and Producer to help coordinate news journalism collaboration and content distribution through our region. These Regional Roundup segments are a result of this collaboration, and are produced by Maeve Conran.

On this week’s Regional Roundup, we hear about the Trump administration’s decision to rescind the Public Lands Rule, and we hear a report on the success of wildlife crossings in Wyoming. As bears become more active, we hear why communities need to be bear-aware, and we’ll hear about efforts across the region to protect dark skies from light pollution. Plus, a feature on the 50th anniversary of KSUT Public Radio and the station’s tribal roots and legacy, and a story on Mujeres y Pedales, a cycling group building community in Eagle County, Colorado. We round out the show by hearing about great horned owls.
