Summit Public Radio & TV: Summit Public Radio & TV brings public media to Summit County via our translator towers on Bald Mountain.

Media that would be otherwise unavailable in our mountain valleys includes: Classical music radio via KCME (public radio), jazz music radio via KUVO (public radio), the only Spanish language radio available in Summit County, All of the over-the-air television service (antenna) including Telemundo Spanish language television.

For second-homeowners, SPRTV provides antenna TV service, an alternative for costly monthly payments for cable.

SPRTV could use your help:

1. Volunteers Needed: Summit Public Radio & TV brings public media to Summit County via our translator towers on Bald Mountain. SPRTV is looking for Board Members with technical expertise to help SPRTV complete the replacement power line to the Electronics Site. This is a great opportunity for retired engineers, planners, attorneys, and others with experience in government relations or technical fields. Affinity for public media is a plus.
2. Antenna-served TV available in Summit County via SPRTV. SPRTV would like to inform people of the availability of antenna-served television. For new residents and second-homeowners, this is a cost-effective way to still receive the major Denver stations, public television, and many other channels for the cost of an antenna and a donation to SPRTV (we hope!)

Wildlands Restoration Volunteers: Join us on this overnight trail-building project in Frisco. The Peaks Trail is an epic ride from the town of Frisco to near the base of Peak 8 in Breck. Some of these high peaks hold snow well into summer, creating almost year-round creeks and wet meadows. The bridges along the trail were constructed almost 30 years ago of locally available timbers and are now decayed and unsafe and sinking into the water they were intended to span. This year, WRV returns to reconstruct one of the largest structures on the Peaks Trail, a 400 ft boardwalk at the popular Zach's Stop trailhead.

Sept. 3-4: Sign Up Here
Sept. 17-18: Sign Up Here
