KWAB, or Working Assets Broadcasting, a 1,000-watt operation that can be heard in Boulder… at 1490 AM, set out to craft an alternative: a commercial station that looks at issues from a more politically progressive point of view… has been operating under the banner "Radio for Change" since last year
