Royal Gorge Broadcasting has announced that it will shut down operations for “104.5 Star Country” KSTY in Pueblo and News/Talk 1400 KRLN in Canon City, Colorado, effective at the end of this year.
Jointly as a team, the station wrote in part on Facebook, “It’s is with heavy hearts that I am announcing that the owners in Nebraska of Star Country and KRLN have made a choice to close down our beloved radio stations beginning January 1st. The staff here at Star Country and KRLN are grateful for the years of dedication from all of our amazing clients who have made our local radio possible.”
Norton Warner and his family have owned the stations since 1965. Before this, they held ownership of stations throughout Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska.
