Brand New Digs For Colorado Public Radio

0

Colorado Public Radio will be moving its news service and reporting team to downtown Denver. When complete, the 9,000 square foot news room and studios will accomodate 70 reporters and producers, including the daily production of the state-wide news program, Colorado Matters. They expect to move in later this year.

Initially, nearly 50 reporters, producers, editors and digital news staff – about a third of Colorado Public Radio’s total staff and all of Denverite’s staff – will relocate to a 9,000 square foot office space at 303 E. 17th Avenue. The organization will continue to operate its primary business, including both CPR Classical and CPR’s OpenAir, from Bridges Broadcast Center in Centennial.

“As we add resources and journalistic talent, it’s critical to maintain the same open, collaborative newsroom we’ve had at Bridges Broadcast Center,” said Executive Editor Kevin Dale. “We’ve outgrown that space with plans for continued growth. Moving downtown is a desirable option to add space, while also reducing operational challenges we face being a half-hour away from the state’s largest news hub.”

This is one of several major actions in recent months demonstrating CPR’s growth and commitment to be a leading source of news for Colorado. Other recent initiatives include the creation of regional news hubs in Colorado Springs and the Western Slope, the acquisition of local news site Denverite, and the forthcoming launch of two newly created teams for investigative reporting and climate solutions coverage.

“The one thing this won’t change is our commitment to telling stories across the state,” Dale added. “The move will allow for better communication and faster access to the legislators who represent all parts of Colorado.”
