KUNC (91.5FM) is aradio station broadcasting a News/Talkpublic radio format. Licensed toGreeley, Colorado,United States, it servesNorthern Colorado, includingFort Collins and Greeley. The station isowned and operated by Community Radio for Northern Colorado, a501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

KUNC began operations January 6, 1967 at theUniversity of Northern Colorado as KCBL. It became KUNC on May 1, 1970.

During the Fall of 2000, UNC put the station up for sale in an effort to save money.Colorado Public Radio inDenver agreed to purchase the station; it had been looking to expand its offerings to Northern Colorado for some time. However, an upwelling of support from the local Northern Colorado community as well as a concerted effort by staff at the station, targeted at "keeping community radio local," led to a fundraising effort which produced a counter-offer from the newly formed Community Radio for Northern Colorado.

On July 24, 2007, KUNC began transmitting from Buckhorn Mountain, northwest of Fort Collins. The new location widened the station's coverage to include most of the northern portion of metroDenver; under the right conditions, it can be heard in much of Denver itself.

KUNC broadcasts programming fromNational Public Radio,Public Radio International, theBBC, and other public radio producers, as well as locally produced news, commentary, and programming such as the daily talk show, Colorado Edition.
