KDNK (88.1FM) is acommunity accessstation inGlenwood Springs, Colorado.^[2] It broadcasts a format of music and local news in westernColorado in theUnited States. The station servesCarbondale,Aspen,Glenwood Springs, and other parts of theRoaring Fork Valley and beyond through its main transmitter and a series of mountain-top translators stretching from theCrystal Valley toLeadville. The station is owned by Carbondale Community Access Radio, Inc., a501(c)(3) non-profit.

The original idea for KDNK came from Lee Swidler, who placed an ad in the local newspapers looking for volunteers to help start a community radio station. Among the first to volunteer were Bruce Stolbach, Bill Phillips, Brian Vancil, Jim Groh, Brenda Jochems, Pat Noel, Wick Moses, and Marple Lewis, who met in Swidler's locksmith shop at night to plan their strategy. Using an NTIA grant and money pledged by local residents, KDNK took to the air on April 15, 1983. Today, the station has a small paid staff, roughly 100 volunteer program hosts, and a board of directors elected by its membership.

In addition to its main signal, KDNK radio also has low-poweredtranslators throughout western Colorado.
