🎙️Broadcasters & Brews Heads to Northern Colorado!🍻 |
|
We’re excited to announce the next stop on our Broadcasters & Brews tour — Greeley!
Join the Colorado Broadcasters Association for a fun, laid-back evening at WeldWerks Brewing (508 8th Avenue, Greeley) on Wednesday, November 20th from 5:30 – 8:00 PM.
Broadcasters & Brews is our statewide happy hour series created to bring Colorado’s broadcast community together outside the studio. No panels, no pressure — just good drinks, good people, and great conversations. Whether you’re in radio, TV, or podcasting, these events are all about connection: meeting new faces, swapping stories, and sharing laughs with others who make Colorado broadcasting what it is.
Our first event in Colorado Springs had an incredible turnout, and we can’t wait to see that same energy in Greeley! This is a free-to-attend event (just cover your own drinks/food), and everyone in the industry is welcome.
We’re thrilled to bring Broadcasters & Brews up north — so put down your mics, your cameras, and yes, even your tridents, and join us at WeldWerks Brewing for an evening of connection and community. We’ll see you there!

FCC Shutdown! Take Steps to Protect Your Station
The government shutdown continues and the FCC's website has been down as well. Extensions on FCC deadlines will be limited and come fast once the shutdown ends.
Since FCC web site was not online on October 10th be sure to have a memorandum stating that you had the document ready at deadline, attempted to upload, but the system was down and take screenshots if possible. Save the memorandum for future use in uploading and for reference when your station’s license renewal application is filed. When the FCC’s system is eventually up and running, upload the issues-programs list for the 3rd Quarter along with your brief memorandum.
