History

In October 1958, the station signed on as KDEN-FM, and then in 1969, changed call letters to KVOD, and began airing a classical music format.

KVOD was originally a commercial radio station, marketing as the voice of classical music for the Denver Metro area. On March 13, 1996, the station moved to 92.5 FM following the sale of the 99.5 frequency to Tribune Broadcasting who launched a classic rock format called KKHK ("The Hawk"). Tribune Broadcasting acquired the station in November of 1995 from Henry Broadcasting Company. [2] Tribune then sold the station to Entercom Communications in January 2002.[3]

Its original studios were located on South Girard Street in southeast Denver, near KWGN's old studios until 2005, when they moved into their current studios in the Denver Technology Center.
